Provisional List of Ohio Spiders

(611 species)

last revised 4 April 2008

NOTES: This list is based on published specimen records and voucher specimens of spider species from Ohio. I would very much appreciate any corrections, please mail them to the above address or email Bradley.10@osu.edu).  I have included some species in this list which are undoubtedly in Ohio as the result of unintended introduction by humans.
