- Abstract
The Iraqi spider fauna includes several dozens of species described and reported mostly by local researchers but still there are considerable sampling gaps. For the first time in Iraq, Agelena orientalis C. L. Koch 1837 (Agelenidae), Oxyopes globifer Simon, 1876 (Oxyopidae), and Thanatus formicinus (Clerck, 1757) (Philodromidae) are recorded. In addition, newly collected material of Bassaniodes tristrami (O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1872) (Thomisidae) and Eusparassus mesopotamicus Moradmand & Jäger, 2012 (Sparassidae) are also presented. The characteristic features, habitus and copulatory organs of all species are presented here along with their geographic distribution.
