Abstract

We investigated 11 pillbox bunkers in Dibër Municipality and one military tunnel near Tirana
(Albania). We found 101 spider specimens belonging to 15 species, of which two species are reported
for the first time from Albania: Leviellus thorelli (Ausserer, 1871) (Araneidae) and Meta bourneti Simon,
1922 (Tetragnathidae).
This paper contributes new information on the diversity, distribution and natural history of spider
fauna in the bunkers of Albania.
