In the forest reserve Beiaardbos, 4 stations were sampled for spiders during a consecutive year (April 2000-April 2001) by means of pitfall traps. Furthermore, one station was sampled using different sampling techniques, primarily to catch saproxylic beetles. The spider catches using these techniques were also identified. In total 1793 individuals were identified belonging to 89 species. Of these species, Diplocephalus graecus is the most impressive, because it has never been collected previously in Belgium and is therefore new for the Belgian fauna. The results show that the use of different sampling techniques can significantly increase the observed diversity.
