Contribution to the jumping spider fauna (Araneae, Salticidae) of the Greek Dodecanese island of Rhodes, with a description of Pseudophrys rhodiensis and six new records. During a recent survey of jumping spiders on the Greek Dodecanese island of Rhodes, a total of 24 species from 21 genera were recorded. One species, Pseudeuophrys rhodiensis Schäfer sp. nov., is here described as new. Six further species of jumping spiders are newly recorded for the island; three of which (Aelurillus concolor, Evarcha insularis comb. nov. and Salticus noordami) are new for the entire Dodecanese. In addition, a number of taxonomic problems regarding the jumping spider fauna of Rhodes are briefly discussed.
