ABSTRACT. New faunistic information is provided on the linyphiid spiders from the Mount Elbrus region, northern Caucasus. Both Porrhomma pallidum Jackson, 1913 and Walckenaeria incisa (O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1871) are new to the fauna of the Caucasus. Photographs of the epigynes of a closer unidentified Centromerus sp. and W. incisa are given. Considering the new data, the fauna of linyphiid spiders of the Caucasus presently consists of at least 216 species.
KEY WORDS: faunistics, Arachnida, Araneae, Palaearctic, mountain fauna.
