Descripción
Currently there are over 50,000 described spider species worldwide according to the world spider catalog (WSC). The study of spiders in Kenya is not well done and as of December 2018, 805 species were described from the region. Some of the species were considered nomen dubium and others described from juvenile species which are at best considered misidentified. The data presented here is a checklist of spider species described from Kenya up-to May of 2022. The species are described from Kenya and other regions of the world with some considered to be cosmopolitan. A total of 801 species from 58 families are represented in the data set. 320 out of the 801 species from this data set are considered endemic to Kenya. 84 species are genus types. The families Salticidae and Linyphiidae had the most species representatives i.e. 163 and 109 species respectively. The bracketed scientific name authorship represent species that have either been transferred to a new/different genus or have been synonymized with other species but maintain the original author. Letters in the scientific name authorship distinguish articles from authors who made multiple publications within the same year.

Métodos de muestreo
The dataset from this checklist was compiled from an online resource World Spider Catalog (2022). This was done by checking for data from distribution areas within Kenya, East Africa and Africa. Publications from East Africa and Africa were downloaded and checked if Kenya was listed as a collection locality. TaxonID/acceptedNameUsageID and parentNameUsageID used are similar to identifiers from WSC for easy search in the catalog. The spider checklist from Kenya published in 2021 was also a useful resource in data compilation for this checklist data.
| Área de Estudio | Specimen in the checklist were collected from various parts of Kenya with 38 out of the 47 counties having species representations. |
|---|---|
| Control de Calidad | The WSC is a site where all taxonomic papers on spiders are listed and its updated daily. The papers are from skilled arachnologists and from peer reviewed papers. |
Descripción de la metodología paso a paso:
- Data mined from the World Spider Catalog was aligned to the Darwin Core Standard (taxon). The standardized data was then validated and uploaded to GBIF through the IPT.

Metadatos adicionales
| Propósito | The checklist is an important dataset in the study of spiders as it highlights the species described from Kenya. In addition, it helps to show the gaps of taxonomy study in the region and therefore promoting study in the area. |
