Abstract :In this study, mimetid spider Ero cambridgei Kulczyński, 1911 is recorded from Türkiye for the first time. A male E. cambridgei was collected in the orb-web of a female Cyclosa algerica Simon, 1885. Morphological diagnosis, along with images of both species are provided. Additionally, the copulatory organs of C. algerica Simon, 1885 are compared with those of C. sierrae Simon, 1870 for diagnostic purposes with their photographs. Furthermore, the record of C. algerica in the Uludağ Mountain remarks the northernmost point of its distribution range in Türkiye.
