In 1998-99, spiders of the mainly Siberian genus Wubanoides ESKOV, 1986 were found in a block field in the Harz mountains, Lower Saxony, Germany. They resemble W. uralensis (PAKHORUKOV, 1981), but appear taxonomically distinct when compared with paratypes of this species. Up to the clarification of their taxonomic status, they are announced here as W. uralensis. Short notes are given on biology and ecology, the questionable status of the species as a "glacial relict" is discussed.
The checklist contains records of spiders from the federal countries Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg, Bremen and the northern plain of Lower Saxony which are compiled from published data, unpublished papers and personal communications. Among the total of 601 species Gnaphosa leporina, Marpissa nivoyi, Dictyna major, Baryphymamaritimum, Pelecopsisnemoraloides, Ozyptila westringi, Silometopus ambiguus and Micaria romana are species which occurin Germany mostlyin the north-western region. The species records in the checklist can be related to their informational sources and they can be localised in the TK25-grid, which represents sheets of the 1:25.000 topographical map.
