Abstract

Two new species of the gnaphosid spider genus Berinda Roewer 1928 are described from Turkey: B. anlasi sp. nov. (♂; Gerger District, Adıyaman Province) and B. orgeli sp. nov. (♂♀; Hassa District, Hatay Province). Additionally, the first description of the female and a redescription of the male of B. cooki Logunov, 2012 are provided, along with the first record of B. infumata (O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1872) from Turkey. Images of the habitus and copulatory organs of these species are also included.
