Özet

The spider genus Devade Simon, 1885 and its type species Devade indistincta (O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1872) are reported in Türkiye for the first time. Specimens were collected by hand under stones at Lake Meke (Konya Province, Central Anatolia). The locality is characterized by volcanic-based, sandy soft soil with sparse shrubbery and scattered grasses surrounding the saline lake. Detailed figures are provided to illustrate the habitus and the male palpal organs of the species. The known distribution records are mapped and habitat photographs are given.
