Abstract

New data on the distribution of the genus Anyphaena Sundevall, 1833 in Mediterranean Europe and North Africa are given. Anyphaena alboirrorata Simon, 1878 is newly recorded in the Maghreb. The species was found in the Saharan and the Tell Atlas in Algeria, in one locality in Morocco and three localities in central north Tunisia. In addition, Anyphaena numida Simon, 1897 is presented as new to Morocco, together with a further record from Algeria and Tunisia. Supplementary material from Spain was examined and the data are also given. Anyphaena sabina is recorded for the first time in Algeria since records by Denis in 1937.
