Habitat and distribution data typical or each species in the studied area are provided. Currently, 129 spider species are known from Katunsky Reserve according to previously published data and the author’s material presented in the paper. The families Linyphiidae (51 species) and Lycosidae (14 species) are the most rich in spider species recorded from the reserve.
