The species Brachythele denieri, Tapinesthis inermis, Zelotes talpinus, Ozyptila confluence, Pellenes seriatus are discussed in taxonomic aspect and some new pictures are presented. The spiders are classified into 21 zoogeographical categories combined in 4 chorological complexes. The composition of the fauna shows for the Sashtinska Sredna Gora Mountain spider fauna Palaearctic and European character. The endemics and the Southeast european species emphasizes the local character of this fauna, but its low percentage suggests an important process of colonization.},

They are best represented in the forest (montane coniferous belt - 269, 83.8\%, montane-deciduous belt -232, 72.3\%) and in the subalpine belt (101, 31.5\%). In the other belts spiders are present in roughly equal proportions (submediterranean -38, 11.8\%, alpine -35, 10.9\%, submontane -33, 10.3\%). Most characteristic is the high mountain species complex, which comprises most endemics and ancient elements, some of which are also distributed in the montane zone. Most of these elements can be regarded as neoendemics and derivatives of their respective Holarctic, Palaearctic and European sister species, which have speciated due to disjunction of ranges during the Pleistocene. A few species can be considered as remnants of an ancient mediterranean mountain fauna. So Pirin mountain can be considered as a possible centre of speciation.},

The spiders are classified into 15 zoogeographical categories combined into 4 chorological complexes. The composition of the fauna shows that the spider fauna of the Sofia region has a Palearctic and European character.
