To the knowledge of the spider fauna (Aranei) of the Republic of Mordovia (Russia)

Here we present faunistic, partly ecological and biogeographic data on Aranei, collected in 11 districts of the Republic of Mordovia (Russia), typical area of the center of the East European Plain. The araneofauna of this region is poorly studied and our new data help to correct biogeorgaphic limits...
