ABSTRACT. Based on extensive fieldwork conducted in the last decade, new taxonomic and faunistic data on harvestmen from the Cis-Urals steppe zone are presented. One species, Opilio uralicus Snegovaya sp.n. (♂♀), is described as new. The two species — Odiellus lendli (Sørensen, 1894) and Oligolophus tridens (C.L. Koch, 1836) — are reported from Orenburg Area for the first time. At present, the harvestman fauna of the Urals accounts for 13 species in 3 families.
