Abstract
In this work we present new records of the spider Steatoda nobilis (Thorell, 1875), an invasive species originally from Madeira and the Canary Islands, for northern Chile. We discuss its possible route of introduction, local ecological impacts in natural environments and provide brief morphological descriptions.
