With this Study, a total of 107 species belonging to 26 genera of Gnaphosidae have been recorded from Turkey until the present time. For each species zoogeographical distribution is given. A zoogeographical classification is constructed according to the Current distribution of species. The largest groups are those of the widely distributed Palearctic and Europian-Asian.
