Three species of Synaphris occurring in the East Mediterranean – S. orientalis Marusik & Lehtinen, 2003, S. lehtineni Marusik, Gnelitsa & Kovblyuk, 2005 and S. letourneuxi (Simon, 1884) – are surveyed; and a new species – S. wunderlichi sp. n. – is described from southern Israel on the basis of males. The new species differs from other East- Mediterranean congeners by its smaller size, a smaller lamella with fewer ridges, and a thick palpal femur. Comparative figures are provided for all species from the East Mediterranean.
