ABSTRACT. The Mediterranean genus Sintula Simon, 1884 is represented in Israel by at least four species. Two species, Sintula matta sp.n. (♂, ♀) and S. adullam sp.n. (♂), are described as new. The new species are similar to the West Mediterranean S. furcifer (Simon, 1912) and S. penicilliger (Simon, 1884) respectively, and are readily distinguishable by genital traits. Sintula karineae Lecigne, 2021 and S. retroversus (O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1875) are recorded from Israel for the first time.
KEY WORDS: Araneae, taxonomy, dwarf-spiders, Erigoninae, Levant.
