Ahmed, 2013, First Record of Three Jumping Spiders (Araneae: Salticidae) in Mergasor (Erbil-Iraq), Int'l J. Mol. Zoo., Vol.3, No.6, 20-23 (doi:10.5376/ijmz. 2013. 03.0006)

During May through July 2012 many habitats in Mergasor locality were investigated for jumping spiders. Three species and three genera were recorded belonging to the family Salticidae which are Philaeus chrysops, Plexippus paykulli and Saitis leighii. Philaeus chrysops had height population in this area but further investigations are needed to clarify the distribution of other species of Salticidae in this region.
