Essay

The thesis is devoted to the development of theoretical and methodological foundations of a new direction of biomonitoring - araneoindication, which is an assessment of environmental quality using spiders. The species composition of spider assemblages of the houses of all regional centers of Ukraine has been verified and 120 species has been identified. Pholcus phalangioides (Fuesslin, 1775) has been proved to be the most effective indicator for determination of the level of technogenic impact in buildings. There have been singled out test-signs for carrying out biomonitoring using this species.
