Preliminary Checklist of Sarawak Spiders.

Abstract:
This paper provides, for the first time, a preliminary overview of species richness of the spider fauna in Sarawak, a comprehensive bibliography of taxonomic literature containing references to Sarawak spiders, and a snapshot of the history of research of Sarawak spiders. A total of 307 morpho-species of spiders spanning across 38 families are recognised in Sarawak, including 194 fully identified species. Of these, 46 are recorded for the first time in the Sarawak spider inventory. Of the fully identified species, 67 are provisionally regarded as endemic to Sarawak.
