The present spiders (Arachnida: Araneae) of Pakistan’s digital catalogue on the website will provide updated knowledge of the number of species, genera and families distributed in Pakistan. The current counts are 36 families, 119 genera and 165 species based on literature and intensive surveys since 2013. This website will ease the worldwide research for spider species’ global biodiversity explorations and distributions. The Checklist of spiders (Arachnida: Araneae) of Pakistan is available at http://www.spidersofpakistan.com/checklist.aspx.
