Sažetak

As is the case with most groups of invertebrates, the spider fauna of Croatia is still poorly known, as seen by the scarcity of relevant publications. Since the first written record by Alberto Fortis in the year 1774 only around 300 papers concerning this fauna have been published. Here we present a review of this literature to the present, and show the interest in this subject through recent history and determine the share of manuscripts published by Croatian authors.
The analysis includes a list of 232 titles known to contain any data on the Croatian spider fauna. Our analysis shows that the most work was published in the second half of the 20th century, while the least productive period of Croatian arachnology lay between the end of World War I and the 1960s. Croatian authors are considerably less numerous than foreign researchers. It is only in the early 21st century that the number of publications by Croatian scientists matches that from the end of the 19th century. Within this analysis, a
brief overview of the work of the most important arachnologists is given.
