Annotated Checklist of the Spiders of Ascension Island with new Faunistic Records, including three newly recorded non-Native species (Araneae: Araneomorphae)

A checklist is given to the spiders in Ascension Island, with new Faunistic records for a family, five genera, and three-level taxa levels. For the last, Oecobius Matathaus Tikader, 1962 (Oecobiidae), and scytodes Velutina Heinoken & Lowe, 1832 and S Simon Simon: 1882 (Both scoltodidae) recorded. Seven genera recorded from the island of those who are not yet-based on unresolved non-dissolved material revealed from the list due to evidence. Overall, 38 genera and 41 species, have been identified by 22 families, recognized as valid taxa of ascending. Of these, 1 genus and 5 species are considered to be or perhaps endemic, which means 99.97% of genera and 87.81% of species are not available.
