Fadami is a city with tropical climate in southeast of Fars Province. In the first survey on spider fauna of Darab County, two new species belonging to families Gnaphosidae Banks, 1892 and Salticidae Blackwall, 1841 were found. Berinda sp. from the family Gnaphosidae shows similarity to B. bifurcate but it differs from its congener in several characters. The tibial apophysis is longer and thinner; median apophysis is different when viewed retrolaterally. Retrolateral tibial apophysis shallow bifurcated, clung to palp, very longer and transparent; in lateral view median aphophysis is pitchfork and the palp tip is longer, thinner and bent in Berinda sp. In Evarcha sp. from the family Salticidae, retrolateral tibial apophysis is short and thinner in comparison to other species of the genera. Moreover, apophysis is short triangle in lateroventral view.
