Abstract
In this research, spiders of the Argyopiformia (web-spinning) group that collected from different localities in the North-east Blacksea Region between 1994 and 1998 were investigated. A total of 283 specimens (159 adults and 124 immatures) belong to the Superfamily Argyopiformia (Theridiidae, Nesticidae, Linyphiidae, Araneidae, Metidae, and Tetragnathidae) were examined and identified at species level. In the research region, a total of 41 species and 27 genera belong to above families were found. Hand aspirator, sweeping net and Japanese beating umbrella were used in the collection. The specimens were preserved in the Zoology Research Laboratory of Kırıkkale University.
