ABSTRACT. Six species of Theridiidae are reported from Turkey for the first time: Enoplognatha giladensis (Levy et Amitai, 1982); Euryopis episinoides (Walckenaer, 1847); Neottiura herbigrada (Simon, 1873); N. uncinata (Lucas, 1846); Theridion cinereum Thorell, 1875; T. pinastri L. Koch, 1872. All species are illustrated on the basis of Turkish specimens. Theridion refugum Drensky, 1929 syn.n. was synonymised with Theridion cinereum. The total number of theridiids recorded from Turkey is now 66 species.
