Abstract:	An annotated list of six Opiliones species from Sălaj county, Romania, collected during 2014, are presented together with a further species found during the same collecting tour in bordering Satu Mare county. Two species (Opilio ruzickai Silhavý, 1938 and Leiobunum rupestre (Herbst, 1799)) are worth to mention because of their rarity in Romania. The Sălaj population of Gyas titanus Simon, 1879, most probably belongs to the problematic Carpathian race of the taxon, needs further taxonomical investigation.
