The present paper is the fifth contribution in the series devoted to the comprehensive faunistic study of Iranian spiders. Currently, 672 spider species of 273 genera are known from Iran (Zamani et al. 2018). Although there are several recent publications dealing with the description of new taxa or records of spiders new to the fauna of Iran (e.g. Mirshamsi et al. 2015; Zamani et al. 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017; Marusik & Zamani 2015b, 2016; Malek Hosseini et al. 2015; Moradmand et al. 2016; Zamani et al. 2017; Moradmand 2017), taxonomic surveys and large-scale faunistic works are scarce (e.g. Tanasevitch 2009; Moradmand & Jäger 2011; Marusik & Zamani 2015a; Mirshamsi et al. 2016). According to Mirshamsi et al. (2015), the total species diversity of Iranian spiders should be hardly less than 1000 species. As a result of the four previous parts of this series, five families (Liocranidae, Mimetidae, Mysmenidae, Miturgidae and Hahniidae), 35 genera and 120 species were recorded from Iran for the first time (Zamani et al. 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017). Main goal of this paper is to provide records for an additional number of 25 species which are new to the fauna of Iran, and raise the number of spider species known from this country to 697. In addition, we have also provided new provincial records for 103 species (Table).
