Introduction
This is a preliminary version of a checklist of spider species reported from Sweden up to present. The records in the published literature (also in press) have been considered and the list presently includes the names of 704 species. A few names mentioned in the literature have been omitted because the nominal species as such are in need of revision, or the identification of the published material from Sweden is in need of verification. In 1955, Tullgren described some linyphiid (erigonine) species as new. Most of these names have been found to be junior synonyms, referring to species known from Sweden by other records. Two of these names (marked with a blue •••), refer to species which are known from Sweden only by Tullgren's names though already known to be junior, not yet formally established synonyms. The presence of some more species in the country is known by personal communication but these will be included in a later version after they have been published in print. Records of casual introductions have been omitted. It is unavoidable that there are uncertainties about the presence of some of the species, and a list like this will always have a provisional character.

Though several publications have been devoted to spiders in
Sweden during the last centuries, no inclusive account of all spiders species
found throughout Sweden has appeared since the book by Westring in 1861, in
which 308 species by then known were treated (a number of which were considered
new to science). This book was soon followed by the more or less extensive
"remarks" by Thorell (1870-73) to each of the species treated by
Westring. Many of the specific names used by Westring, and a part of the ones
introduced by Westring (a number of which already in 1851), have later been
synonymized due to priority, or allocated into other genera.
In the present checklist, the order of the families, the
assignment of genera to the respective family, and the names of the species are
listed according to Platnick (2000).
An annotated checklist of spider species in Sweden (with
notes on distribution etc.) is in preparation.

Species appearing in the 2000 Red List of Swedish Species
(Gärdenfors 2000) are marked with a "••".
