This is the first complete catalogue of the jumping spiders of northern Asia. It is based on both original data and published data dating from 1861 to October 2000 (altogether 314 sources included). Northern Asia is defined as the territories of Siberia, the Russian Far East, Mongolia, northern provinces of China, and both Korea and Japan (Hokkaido only). The catalogue lists 215 valid species belonging to 41 genera. The following data are supplied for each species: a range characteristic, all available records from northern Asia with approximate coordinates (mapped), all misidentifications and doubtful biological data, taxonomic notes on species where necessary, references to lists of regional fauna and to catalogues of general importance. This catalogue is intended for zoologists, mainly arachnologists, as well as for biogeographers, local biologists and naturalists.
