The South African National Survey of Arachnida (SANSA) was launched in 2006 to improve knowledge of the arachnid diversity of the country through collaboration and coordination of arachnological research. The latest stage of this project is the evaluation of South African spiders according to the IUCN Red List categories and criteria. These Red List assessments are in its final stages, with an assessment completed for each of the approximately 2 240 species in 70 families presently known from the country. From all the species assessed, 32% are Data Deficient. This mean that they are either poorly described; not both sexes are known; the description does not include illustrations; or the distribution data is vague. As a result of this, research focusing on addressing some of these issues will be undertaken to publish data for the Data Deficient species. The first paper will focus on the first record of Euryopis funebris (Araneae: Theridiidae) from South Africa with re-description of both the sexes. This report extends the known range from the USA and Canada into South Africa.
