Abstract

The current faunistic knowledge on Latrodectus tredecimguttatus (Rossi, 1790) and Steatoda paykulliana (Walckenaer, 1806) in Italy are summerized and new records for both species are given. First occurrences of L. tredecimguttatus from Basilicata and S. paykulliana from Veneto, Marche, Abruzzo, Molise, and Basilicata are given. In addition, many records for new provinces are cited for both the species, improving considerably the knowledge of the distribution of these two spiders in Italy
