Sažetak
Spiders are one of the most taxa rich groups of animals in cave habitats in Croatia and are represented, among others, by families Agelenidae and Nesticidae. Family Nesticidae is represented by the widespread genus Nesticus and for family Agelenidae most common genera are Histopona, Malthonica and Tegenaria. Here we present a complete list of taxa belonging to these families occurring in Croatia based upon available literature, analysis of the material from Croatian Biospeleological Society collection and material collected during our field trips. A total of 24 species has been recorded from over 700 speleological objects and a few epigean habitats. Some of them are new for Croatian fauna, for others new localities are given, and for the majority of species distribution ranges are extended. Hence, we present distribution maps of these species with special emphasis on their distribution in Croatia. Additionally, we define endemic status of these species and discuss their ecology.
