Two species new to the French fauna have been found in Savoie (73) : one Linyphiidae, Agyneta orites (Thorell, 1875) and one Lycosidae, Pardosa schenkeli Lessert, 1904. The authors remind their geographical distribution, and some photographs of the habitus and genitals are presented. The lack of prospecting in the past and the use of the thermal vacuum cleaner (D-Vac) are probably the cause of these recent discoveries.
