Abstract

Nine recently described or poorly known species of the thomisid genera Cozyptila Lehtinen & Marusik, 2005 and Xysticus C.L. Koch, 1835 are reported from Turkey. Five species, Cozyptila blackwalli (Simon, 1875), C. thaleri Marusik & Kovblyuk, 2005, Xysticus bacurianensis Mcheidze, 1971, X. thessalicoides Wunderlich, 1995 and X. xerodermus Strand, 1913, are new records for the Turkish spider fauna. Two species, X. bacurianensis and X. xerodermus are illus- trated and a distribution map is provided for the former. A few additional records are given for Greece and the Caucasian countries, of which X. bacurianensis is new for Azerbaijan.
