This checklist records the occurrence of 1413 species of spiders (Araneae) in 43 families in Canada and Alaska. Distributions of species are given by state, territory and province. Each species name is presented in its original combination, followed by primary synonyms, if any. The list is dominated by members of the family Linyphiidae (39.5% of total species). Highest numbers of species are recorded for Ontario (746), British Columbia (700) and Quebec (677). We record 69 species that are…

More and more strategic investment in surveys and taxonomy (including DNA barcoding) is needed to adequately document the fauna, and much work remains before the Canadian fauna is fully documented.

A new species of Alopecosa (Araneae: Lycosidae) from Canada: a morphological description supported by DNA barcoding of 19 congeners.

DNA barcode results show an interspecific distance of 0.93 between A. koponeni sp.
