Much more information was reported by B res j an c e va (1907), who recorded 148 species. The first huge work came from S to j ice vie (1929). He reported 432 species from 34 families, which constituted a rev\ ':le o.f all literature available by that time. A considerable contribution was made by K rat 0 - ch v f I (1934) who published the list of cave spiders in Yugoslavia. Fag e (1931) published a revue of cave spiders in EJlrope, where 71 species from the Balkan Peninsula (9 of which from Serbian caves) were re- ported. Some years later, D r ens k y (1936) compiled all faunistic data about the spiders of the Balkan Peninsula mentioned in the literature and reported 447 species from 34 families for Serbia. In this period Ko I 0 s v a r y (1938, 1940) published a list of spiders of Yugoslavia that included 40 species from the terri- tory of Serbia. In the same period K rat 0 c h v f I and Mill e r (1938) continued their work of cave spiders from the Balkan countries, with an emphasis on research on the distribution of cave Centromerus species. S i I - h a v y (1944) described new species from the family Thomisidae. Much later, Cur c i c (1969) examined the cave spiders in the Iron Gate region and reported 17 species. Some data concerning Serbian spiders can be found in the papers of van He I sdi n g e n (1969, 23 UDC 1970).

The number of species is comparatively high compared with a number of spiders recorded from other countries from the Balkan Peninsula: the highest number of species is recorded for the territories of Bulgaria (910) (D e Its h e v and B I ago e v 2001), Greece (810) (B 0 s m a n s in press), Croatia (614) (D e Its h e v 1999) and Ma- cedonia (595). This reachness, however, depends not only on the size of the regions, but also on the degree of the explorations by araneologists. Best represented are the families Linyphiidae (156 species), Lycosidae (62 species), Gnaphosidae (59 species), Salticidae (49 spe- cies), Araneidae (48 species), Theridiidae (42 species) and Thomisidae (37 species). The goal of the present study is to give a critical systematic revue as well as a zoogeographical analysis of the spiders collected from 42 additional localities in Serbia, based on intensive field research and new data accumulated (Table 1).

CONCLUSION
The spider fauna of Serbia is well represented on the territory of Serbia but the species are distributed unequally in different areas and districts. The number of established species (628) and genera (224) is comparatively high to the number of spiders recorded from other countries from the Balkan Peninsula. The faunistic diversity. of Serbian spiders shows that the Balkan Peninsula is a territory of considerable species reachness. In the zoogeographical respect, the widely distributed spiders are dominant, which shows that the process of colonization is considerable. The endemic species represent the local character of this fauna and point to the main role of the genesis of the Balkan Peninsula in its origin and evolution. This fenomenon can be regarded as a result of numerous paleo-environmental changes since the Mesozoic.
