Blagoev, G., Deltshev, C., Lazarov, S. & Naumova, M.
Version: August 2018

The present check list is based on the incorporation of all available published records on the distribution of spiders in Bulgaria. A total of 1043 spider species group taxa from 45 families were established, due to the review of 270 literature items. The principal paper is ‘A critical check list of Bulgarian spiders (Araneae)’ (Deltshev & Blagoev, 2001), where 910 species based on 173 publications, together with all taxonomic changes published in the literature are listed. Now, these data are complemented by 97 papers and 7 species are still unpublished (marked in the list with red •). This check list also contains a comprehensive list of all publications on Bulgarian spiders (in the chapter References), published between 1876 and 2018.
