ABSTRACT. Malthonica dalmatica (Kulczy?ski, 1906) is recorded from the southern coast of the Crimea. It is the north-easternmost locality of M. dalmatica hitherto known from Italy, Croatia (Dalmatia), Bulgaria, Greece, Cyprus and Israel; this is the first record from the former Soviet Union. This species is redescribed and illustrated on the basis of the Crimean specimens.
