Abstract
This research was carried out in pomegranate (Punicae granatum L.) and olive (Olea europaea L.) orchards in the Eastern Mediterranean (Adana, Mersin and Osmaniye provinces) in 2008-2010 in order to determine the spider fauna. In this study, among the 402 individuals (male, female, nimf) collected, 59 species belonging to 51 genera and 17 families were reported at 16 different localities with more spiders in the pomegranate and olive orchards in these regions. Among this species, Theridion hemerobium (Simon, 1914), Aphantaulax cincta (L. Koch, 1866) and Platnickina nigropunctata (Lucas, 1846) are new records for the araneo-fauna of Turkey. This study was the first on spider fauna in pomegranate and olive orchards in Turkey.
