Description
As part of the South African National Survey of Arachnida (SANSA), several surveys were undertaken in the Eastern Cape. In this
paper, an annotated species list of spiders species sampled from Jeffreys Bay is presented. A total of 38 families represented by 151 species from 101 genera have been recorded. The most species-rich families are the Araneidae (27 spp.), Thomisidae (23 spp.), and Salticidae (16 spp.). The conservation status and level of endemicity based on their known distribution are provided for each species.
