Sumario:ABSTRACT Based on material collected from different habitats (natural, reforested and felled habitats) of Navarra (northern Spain), five species of the family Zerconidae are newly recorded and a key to the 29 species found in the Iberian Peninsula and the Macaronesian region, based on adult females, is provided. Ecological requirements, in terms of habitat preference, vertical distribution in the soil, and seasonal population changes of several species, are given.
