Three species of theridiid spiders from Japan and Taiwan are transferred from Phoroncidia Westwood, 1835 to Ulesanis L. Koch, 1872: U. pilula (Karsch, 1879), U. nasutus (O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1873) and U. ryukyuensis (Yoshida, 1979), all with new combinations. Ulesanis nasutus is recorded for the first time from Japan and Taiwan and is redescribed on the basis of the material obtained from those countries. General appearances and genital organs of U. ryukyuensis are illustrated. Two genera, Stegosoma O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1873 and Sudabe Karsch, 1879, are newly synonymized with Ulesanis.
