Bu çal›flmada Türkiye'den ilk kez kay›t edilen Uloborus walckenaerius Latreille, 1806 'nin morfolojik özellikleri verilmifltirThe morphological characteristics of Uloborus walckenaerius Latreille, 1806, which is recorded for the first time in Turkey, are given in this study.Uloborid spiders are unique among spiders in lacking poison glands. They are cribellate orb weavers, and spin geometrical orb webs or sectors of orbs, similar to those of Araneidae, Tetragnathidae and the other related families. They are distributed in all parts of the world but are abundant in the tropics. In Uloboridae, more than 200 species belonging to 23 genera have been described (1-3). So far, only one species (Uloborus plumipes Lucas, 1846) of this family has been recorded in Turkey (4). This paper deals with the characteristic features of Uloborus walckenaerius Latreille, and adds a species tothe spider fauna of Turkey.
