| Abstract: | 112 spider species were collected from the region of Sofia: Atypidae -1; Nemesiidae - 1; Dysderidae - 7; Mimetidae - 1; Theridiidae - 5; Linyphiidae - 17; Tetragnathidae - 3; Araneidae - 3; Lycosidae - 22; Pisauridae - 1; Agelenidae - 3; Dictynidae - 1; Amaurobiidae - 5; Anyphaenidae - 1: Liocranidae - 2; Clubionidae - 6; Zodariidae - 1: Gnaphosidae - 15; Zoridae - 1; Sparassidae - 1: Philodromidae - 5; Thomisidae - 9; Salticidae - 3. 67 species are new to the study region and 2 (Dysdera adriatica, Amaurobius deelemanae) are new to the Bulgarian fauna. 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. |
