During a scientific internship in a mountainous area near Agadir, several caves were prospected; the sampled material included several spider species. Morphological and taxonomical analysis revealed two new species to science: an anophthalmic troglobiont species, Agraecina agadirensisspec. nov. (description based on three females) and a new member of the genus Steatoda in the Mediterranean region, Steatoda ifricolaspec. nov. (description based on both sexes). Diagnoses, drawings and photos are presented.
