Abstract
The results of an annual sampling in the Natural Park of Carrascal de la Font Roja (Alcoi, Alicante) are presented. Lathys sexpustulata Simon, 1878, Canariphantes aff. naili (Bosmans & Bouragba, 1992) and Bassaniodes graecus (C. L. Koch, 1837) are the first records for the Iberian Peninsula. Tapinopa disjugata Simon, 1884 is the first record for Spain. In addition, the family Miturgidae, 4 genera and 26 species, are the first records for the Valencian Community. The family Theraphosidae, 5 genera and 9 species, are also the first records in Alicante province. As a result, the Natural Park of Carrascal de la Font Roja has increased its araneofauna with the first record of 8 families, 54 genera and 88 species. The number of Ibero-Balearic endemic species amounts to 22.
