Abstract
Regular arachno-faunistic studies of West Kazakhstan Region started only in the 90s of the 20th century. To date, over 65 arachnological papers on this region have been published,. Yet, the spider fauna of West Kazakhstan Region remains incompletely studied. A list of 77 spider species collected in 2021-2022 from West Kazakhstan Region is provided. Three species - Mecynargus minutipalpis Gnelitsa, 2011, Neoscona spasskyi (Brignoli, 1983) and Rhysodromus hierosolymitanus (Levy, 1977), are recorded from Kazakhstan for the first time. Nineteen species are reported for West Kazakhstan Region for the first time, and 86 new district records are provided for 55 species. Baseed on the present results, a total number of spider species recorded from West Kazakhstan Region has raised to 274 species in 130 genera and 23 families. Three poorly known species, Evippa sjostedti Schenkel, 1936, M. minutipalpis and R. hierosolymitanus, as well as one jumping spider Attulus zimmermanni (Simon, 1877), are illustrated with photographs of their epigynes.
