Abstract

This study describes a new distributional record of two cobweb spider species of the genus Argyrodes Simon, 1864 in Chhattisgarh. Two Argyrodes spider species, Argyrodes fissifrons O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1869 and Argyrodes nephilae Taczanowski, 1873, were recorded from the forest region of Gariaband district in the state. With this record, there are now three species of this genus found in Chhattisgarh. Argyrodes nephilae is a species that was last recorded in Telangana in 2010, and has now been recorded again in Chhattisgarh state after 16 years. This is the second state where it has been recorded. Therefore, this study adds two new species to the Arachnofaunal list of the state.
