Abstract
During the spring of 2019, 187 spider species were collected and identified from the north of Greece, in the regional units of Chalkidiki, Serres and Thessaloniki of the administrative region of Central Macedonia. A list of collected species is given. Siwa dufouri (Simon, 1874), Improphantes turok Tanasevitch, 2011, Phrurolithus nigrinus (Simon, 1878), Aelurillus m-nigrum Kulczyński, 1891, Euryopis dentigera Simon, 1880 and Tetragnatha intermedia Kulczyński, 1891 are reported as new for Greece. Some species could not be identified so far: Amaurobius sp., Pritha sp. and Zodarion sp. The female of Pelecopsis pavida (O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1872) is described for the first time.
