Abstract

Two species of linyphiid spiders, Disembolus bairdi Edwards, 1999 and Grammonota pallipes Banks, 1895, were discovered along the southwestern coast of Lake Michigan in Lake County, Illinois representing an Atlantic Coastal Plain disjunct distribution. A brief discussion of known collection sites, habitat preferences, and possible modes of dispersal are given.
