ABSTRACT. A list of 54 spider species collected in the East Kyzylkum Desert (Kazakhstan) is provided. Of these species, 27 are recorded from Kyzylkum for the first time, and 10 are first found in Kazakhstan. Distribution of the species that are new to Kazakhstan is discussed. Two species are described as new: viz., Anagraphis karamola sp.n. (♂♀) and Drassodes babenkoi sp.n. (♂♀). A new combination is proposed: Anagraphis tajikistanica (Fomichev et Marusik, 2021) comb.n. (ex Drassodex).
KEY WORDS: Araneae, new findings, Middle Asia, Kazakhstan.
