Filistata albens Zonstein & Marusik, 2019, is rediagnosed and redescribed based on newly collected specimens and its female is described for the first time. Several new records of F. insidiatrix (Forsskål, 1775), previously known from Israel, are also provided. In Israel, the genus is currently known to encompass five (four named and one yet undescribed) species.
