Abstract

A list of the type specimens held in the William Morton Barrows Spider Collection at The Ohio State University is presented for the first time. A total of 26 holotypes and 14 allotypes are currently held in the collection. Of the 28 named taxa (27 Barrows names) represented by primary types in this collection, 10 have been placed in synonymy by subsequent authors. Thus a total of 18 currently valid species are represented by primary types. An additional 113 paratype specimens representing these species and an additional 20 taxa are present.
