Nearctic Spiders

Greenland, Canada, the United States, parts of Mexico, and Bermuda are collectively home to 70 families, 674 genera, and approximately 4,500 species of spiders. A continuous inventory of their identity and geographic location is critical to the management of natural resources, protected places, global transport of invasive species, and pure research. Specimen data are voluntarily uploaded by dedicated araneologists and museum curators without whom this database would not be possible. Species pages are peer-reviewed accounts. Upon receiving three favorable reviews and final editorial acceptance, these pages may be cited in other peer-reviewed publications and reports.
