ABSTRACT. New data on spiders from the Novaya Zemlya Archipelago are provided. A species list of the Bezymyannaya Bay, Southern Island of the Novaya Zemlya is added, and a few species from the earlier uninvestigated Krestovaya Bay, Northern Island are reported. Walckenaeria clavicornis (Emerton, 1882) is recorded from the Novaya Zemlya for the first time. Considering new data, the spider fauna of the Archipelago is currently known to contain 22 species. A few new records of spiders from different localities of the Siberian sector of Arctic are given.
