Recent linyphiid collections from Laos as well as some additional specimens from Thailand and West Malaysia are examined. Six species and two genera are described as new to science: Bathyphantes paracymbialis n. sp., Nematogmus asiaticus n. sp., Theoa hamata n. sp.; Asiagone n. gen. is erected for Asiagone signifera n. sp. (type species) and A. perforata n. sp.; Laogone n. gen. is established for Laogone cephala n. sp. The following new synonyms are proposed: Gorbothorax

Of them, the Yamal records of the three latest species represent the westernmost limit of their known distribution. In terms of regional composition, the spider fauna of northern Yamal is indeed Siberian, which sets it apart from the fauna of southern Yamal containing significantly more European elements. In zonal terms, the araneofauna of northern Yamal has an arctic appearance and contains only two polyzonal elements, with the rest of species displaying arctic, arcto-alpine or arcto-boreal distributional patterns. Despite the most pessimal environmental conditions, the zonal tundra communities yield a comparable number of species to that of intrazonal biotopes which are characterized by a significantly smoother gradient of climatic factors. Most species of local, arctic tundra populations are polytopic or eurytopic, i.e. the species inhabiting the entire landscape profile and all/most of the vegetation types, showing no preference to a specific landscape element or a plant community. Only two species could be characterized as typical zonal elements: arctic Halorates spetsbergensis (Thorell, 1872) and Xysticus albidus Grese, 1909; and five species as typical intrazonal elements:

Linyphiid spiders collected from the Indo-Malayan Region and kept at three European Museums are studied. Twenty-three known species are newly recorded from continental or insular parts of Southeastern Asia and from the Oriental area of India. Seven new species are described: Asiagone komannai n. sp. (from Thailand), Erigone apophysalis n. sp. and E. sumatrana n. sp. (Sumatra, Indonesia), Gnathonarium luzon n. sp. (Philippines), Ketambea acuta n. sp. (Thailand, Myanmar), Oedothorax myanmar n. sp. (Myanmar) and Theoa malaya n. sp. (West Malaysia).
