Until recently only 33 species of spiders had been known from Iraq. New
material collected in northern Iraq reveals 20 species, 13 genera and
six families new to the country. One species, Pterotricha arzhantsevi sp. n.
is described as new to science. Comparative figures are provided for
seven species; the 54 species currently known from Iraq are listed and
their occurrence in neighbouring Iran and Turkey is shown.
