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. Endemics and Southeasteuropean species emphasize the local character of this fauna, but their low persentage suggests an important process of colonization.}, keywords = {affinities]., Araneae (Arachnida): [New record]., Araneae [Zoogeography / Zoogeographical affinities / ] [Bulgaria / Sofia, Eurasia, Europe, Land zones, Palaearctic region, region / Annotated records including new records \& zoogeographical, Zoogeography}, isbn = {954-642-224-X}, url = {://ZOOREC:ZOOR14109056574}, author = {Antov, Andrej and Lazarov, Stoyan and Deltshev, Christo and Blagoev, Gergin}, editor = {Penev, L. and Niemela, J. and Kotze, D.
