Urbanization has pronounced effects on the abiotic components of the environment, causing irreversible changes in natural environments, replacing all original biotic components of the site. The spiders can colonize and become established in these new ecosystems and acquire synanthropic habits. We review all the records of synanthropic spiders found in Chile, including published literature and sporadic collecting mainly undertaken from 2010 to 2013 in different parts of the country. Here we define four types of environments that these spiders can be use: peridomestic habitats, domestic habitats, agrosystems and rural areas. Finally we compare the results of this study with the synanthropic spider faunas from other countries of America. Key words: Araneae, spiders , anthropogenic , synanthropic , houses , Chile.
