In this review, an updated checklist of spider diversity in Rajasthan, India is presented. A total of 173 spider species from 90 genera belonging to 25 families are listed with records/descriptions originating from only 20 out of 33 districts of Rajasthan. A total of 74 taxa recorded from various districts of Rajasthan were identified only up to generic level. The maximum number of spider species were recorded from Jodhpur district (72 species), followed by Ajmer (69 species), Bharatpur (66 species), Pali (63 species), Jaipur (58 species), Dholpur and Karauli (38 species each), Jhunjhunu and Sikar (31 species each), Sri Ganga Nagar (26 species), Hanumangarh (25 species), and Jaisalmer (26 species). A fewer number of species are known from other districts. Thus far, no faunal surveys of spiders have been conducted in 13 districts of Rajasthan. Most of the national parks and wildlife sanctuaries, forest areas, agricultural fields, human dwellings, etc. within the state still await intensive and extensive surveys to record the spider fauna.

“…The survey of the literature revealed that the existing information on the spider diversity in two union territories, Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh are scattered and more than half of the areas have not yet been surveyed for faunal distribution of spiders. Recently, the checklist of spider fauna have been reported from Indian States such as --Andhra Pradesh (Singh and Sharma, 2022a), Bihar and Jharkhand (Singh and Singh, 2021b), Chhattisgarh (Singh and Singh, 2021c), Goa , Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Chandigarh and Delhi (Singh and Singh, 2021d), Karnataka (Singh, 2022b), Madhya Pradesh (Singh and Sharma, 2022b), Maharashtra (Singh, 2022a), Odisha (Singh, 2022c), northeast India (Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim, Tripura) (Singh and Singh, 2021e), Rajasthan , Telangana (Singh and Sharma, 2022c), Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand and Andaman, Nicobar and Lakshdweep (Singh and Singh, 2022d).…”

Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh Territories lie in the extreme northwest of India. The region has three distinct biogeographic zones, viz. Trans Himalaya, Northwest Himalaya and Semi-arid Plains. The Trans Himalaya is almost represented by Ladakh as like cool desert while Northwest Himalaya mostly by Kashmir and the climate is temperate and northern parts of Jammu, the area of Rajouri, Punch and Bhadrwa like sub-temperate, and the semiarid plains of rest area of Jammu. These two union territories have great faunal diversity especially in union territory of Jammu and Kashmir. In this review, a total of 284 species of spiders described under 160 genera belonging to 34 families were reported as per the literatures up to October 2022 of two union territories of northwest India viz., Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh. The biodiversity of spiders is more in Jammu and Kashmir (252 species, 148 genera, 31 families) than Ladakh (42 species, 34 genera, 14 families). However, most of the areas in both territories are unexplored and still virgin regarding the faunal survey programmes and need intensive and extensive survey in those areas by enthusiastic workers. In this study, it was also determined that the cultivated land of the Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh mostly covered with apple and due to high number of application of pesticides and high level of disturbance, the useful and predatory spiders migrate to uncultivated lands including forest and high hills which has not been unexplored and still virgin and needs more attention for the conservation of these predatory fauna that has great predation ability of harmful pests.

The article deals with the faunal diversity of the crab spiders (Thomisidae: Araneomorphae: Araneae: Arachnida) in different states of India and the union territories. A total of 210 species belonging to 44 genera of Thomisidae was recorded in all states and the union territories of India except for Nagaland and Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu, out of which 143 species (68.4%) were strictly endemic. However, among them, 6 species seem to be the case of erroneous report or misidentification. Two genera of crab spiders are highly speciose, e.g.
