Following the examination of material from several islands in the East Mediterranean Sea, Trachyzelotes stubbsi Platnick & Murphy, 1984 is critically distinguished from T. adriaticus (Caporiacco, 1953). The examination of old material lead to the taxonomic re-evaluation of several poorly known species in the area of Greece and adjacent regions. Based on these studies, three new synonymies are proposed: Z. ilotarum Simon, 1884 as a new synonym of Z. cingarus (O. P.-Cambridge, 1874) and Z. balcanicus Deltshev, 2006 and Z. baram Levy, 2009 as new synonyms of Z. argoliensis (C.L. Koch, 1839). Furthermore, a species from Crete closely associated to Z. ilotarum is represented and considered as a new species, Z. helicoides n.sp. Among the species listed above, T. stubbsi is a new record for the Greek territory, while Z. olympi (Kulczy[fffd]ski, 1903) is excluded from the Greek list of spiders based on the present knowledge of its distribution.
