Taxonomic and distributional notes on four recently described Stenaelurillus species from India (Araneae: Salticidae)

Abstract

Notes on four species of the jumping spider genus Stenaelurillus Simon, 1886 from India are presented. Stenaelurillus jagannathae Das, Malik & Vidhel, 2015 syn. nov. is recognized as a junior synonym of S. arambagensis (B. Biswas & K. Biswas, 1992). The mismatched sexes of S. tettu Logunov, 2020 and S. indicus Logunov, 2020 are corrected. The females originally described as S. tettu are recognized as belonging to S. indicus and vice versa. Supplementary morphometric details of S. tettu are provided and new distribution records and illustrations for S. tettu and S. albus Sebastian, Sankaran, Malamel & Joseph, 2015 are presented.
