Nineteen Uropodina species were collected in Albania between the 20th and 27th October 2002, The list of species, their localities and descriptions of the four new species are given. With 22 figures. Unfortunately there is only a few data from the Uropodina fauna of the Mediterranean part of Europe Only the fauna of Italy and Spain are well known (79 and 58 species). The other countries are hardly known, only 2-5 species were listed from the countries of the Balkan peninsula, but the Uropodina faunaof Albania is absolutely unknown (Wisniewski 1993) Fortunately zoological investigations were started in Albania at the beginning of 1990 by the researchers of the Hungarian Natural History Museum.
