Israeli spiders of six gnaphosid genera: Phaeocedus, Poecilochroa, Scotophaeus, Megamyrmaekion, Leptodrassus, and Odontodrassus are revised. Only two of these taxa, namely, Leptodrassus and Scotophaeus, were previously reported from Israel, the latter albeit owing to erroneous determinations. Scotophaeus is herein newly recorded from Israel based on different species. Two genera, Poecilochroa and Odontodrassus, both with species formerly described from Israel, were not previously recognized from this country. Two additional genera, Phaeocedus and Megamyrmaekion, were not known to be represented in Israel. Adults of the type-species of Megamyrmaekion, known so far only by an immature specimen, are described, and the type of the minute Leptodrassus tenerrimus is newly designated. The following new synonyms are defined: Drassus campestratus O.P.-Cambridge, 1874 and Drassus dimidiatus Simon, 1878 = Poecilochroa senilis (O.P.-Cambridge, 1872) comb, n.; Poecilochroa lesserti Denis, 1947 = Poecilochroa pugnax O.P.-Cambridge, 1874; Megamyrmecion holosericeum Simon, 1882 and Megamyrmecium pallescens Denis, 1955 = Megamyrmaekion vulpinum (O.P.-Cambridge, 1874) comb, n.; Poecilochroa monodi Fage, 1929 = Odontodrassus mundulus (O.P.-Cambridge, 1872) comb. n. The new species described are Phaeocedus hebraeus, Poecilochroa golan, P. taborensis, Scotophaeus subcorticis, and Odontodrassus aravensis.
