Abstract

Three urban areas were sampled using pitfall traps: Parque da Previdência, Mata da CUASO and Mata do Instituto Butantan. These areas are located in the western region of the city of São Paulo, Brasil. Fifty traps were placed in each area, per season, during one year, totalling 600 traps. A total of 2339 spiders were collected, of which 1569 adults and 770 juveniles. These were separated into 46 morphospecies, belonging to 25 families. The most abundant family was Linyphiidae, with nine morphospecies, followed by Theridiidae and Salticidae, with eight and seven morphospecies, respectively. The most common species were Hahniidae sp.1 and Guaraniella sp.1 in the Parque da Previdência; Linyphiidae sp.1 in the Instituto Butantan's forest and Zoridae sp.2 and Brattia castanea Millidge in the CUASO forest.
