Abstract
⺠Generic richness was the most efficient surrogate of spider diversity. ⺠The two-indicator group, Salticidae and Thomisidae, was the most efficient cross taxon surrogate. ⺠Woody vegetation and birds (non-overlapping indicator groups) performed poorly. ⺠Use of morphospecies as surrogates are cautiously supported but not preferred.
