Three species of the genus Cheiracanthium were newly added to the spider fauna of Taiwan. These include Cheiracanthium eutittha Bosenberg et Strand, 1906, and two new species, C. taiwanicum sp. nov. and C. fulcatum sp. nov. Each species is described or re-described and illustrated based on materials from the Chiuchiufeng area, Central Taiwan and other museum materials preserved in the Arachnological collection of the Department of Life Science, National Taiwan Normal University from various localities of Taiwan. These three species are all widely distributed in the low mountain areas at the elevation below 1200 m in Taiwan.
