These add to the checklist of the families Cheiracanthiidae Wagner, 1887; Eresidae C L Koch, 1845; Gnaphosidae Pocock, 1898; and Pholcidae C L Koch, 1850. The results include twelve species of which six are new records from Armenia, and include Eresus kollari Rossi, 1846; Pholcus alticeps Spassky, 1932; Holocnemus pluchei (Scopoli, 1763); Cheiracanthium erraticum (Walckenaer, 1802); Drassodes lapidosus (Walckenaer, 1802); and Aphantaulax cincta (L.
