Abstract
A survey of the cave spider fauna in the Ryukyu Archipelago was carried out from 1966 to 1976. Fourty two species of thirty six genera belonging to twenty three families were recorded from many limestone caves in the Ryukyu Islands. The representative cave spiders in the Ryukyu Archipelago are Masirana longipalpis, Falcileptoneta okinawaensis, Speocera laureata and Tetrablemma shimojanai etc. Among of them, Speocera laureata and Tetrablemma shimojanai are widely distributed in the Ryukyu Chain. The cave spider fauna of the Ryukyu Archipelago is much different from the Japanese Islands.
