Abstract
The Araneidae collection from the Museo Nacional de Historia Natural de Santo Domingo (MNHNSD) is reviewed. The collection holds 894 specimens, distributed in 22 genera and 34 species. Acanthepeira venusta (Banks, 1896) and Metazygia genialis (Keyserling, 1892) are recorded for the first time from Dominican Republic and the island of Hispaniola. This collection includes two paratypes corresponding to Aculepeira busu Levi, 1991 and Wagneriana vegas Levi, 1991. A catalog of the collection is presented.
