Spiders collected by Antoine Senglet on Corsica include 26 linyphiid species, one of which, Bolyphantes subtiliseta sp. nov., is described as new from a male and a female. The male of Trichoncus hirtusDenis, 1965 is described for the first time. Three new combinations are proposed: Improphantes huberti (Wunderlich, 1980) comb. nov. and Palliduphantes corsicos (Wunderlich, 1980) comb. nov., both ex LepthyphantesMenge, 1866; P. gladiola (Simon, 1884) comb. nov. ex MansuphantesSaaristo & Tanasevitch, 1996. Agyneta mollis (O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1871), Entelecara acuminata (Wider, 1834), Minicia marginella (Wider, 1834) and Trichoncus hackmaniMillidge, 1955 are reported as new for the Corsican fauna; Agyneta mesasiaticaTanasevitch, 2000 is new for the Corsican and for the French fauna. In addition, a new locality of A. mesasiatica from Italy (Toscana) is given. The type of distribution is given for each species. The linyphiid fauna of Corsica is rich, containing at least 94 species, and can be characterized as Mediterranean, with a high proportion of presumed endemics (14%).
