Popis: Two hundred and forty species of spiders from 29 families are reported from the Terek River valley (Mozdok District, North Ossetia, Russia). Three families (Anyphaenidae, Trachelidae, Zodariidae) and 87 species are recorded for the first time from the territory of North Ossetia. Two new species are described. Tegenaria prisnyi Ponomarev, sp. n. (Agelenidae) is similar to T. lyncea Brignoli, 1978 and differs by the shorter median apophysis, the shape and location of the prolateral arm of the conductor, the shape of the tibial apophysis, the relatively short patella of the male; widely spaced epigynal ducts and spirally twisted accessorial glands. Zora osetica Ponomarev, sp. n. (Miturgidae) is characterized by the presence of two pairs of ventral spines on metatarsi I and II, like in Z. alpina Kulczyński, 1915, Z. manicata Simon, 1878, and Z. silvestris Kulczyński, 1897. From all listed species Z. osetica Ponomarev, sp. n. differs in the shape of the tibial apophysis of the male palp, in the darker colouration of the body, colouration of legs.
