Abstract: In 2014 and 2015 several zoological expeditions were carried out in Sǎlaj by the researchers of the Hungarian Natural History Museum. During their surveys 198 adult spider specimens were collected (823 specimens altogether with juvenile and subadult stages), representing 68 species, belonging to 20 families. The current investigations added 47 new species to the arachnofaunistical checklist of Sǎlaj, thus the detailed list now contains 132 spider species respectively.
