Leafhopper genera and species of the tribe Mukariini from the Indian subcontinent are revised. Nine genera and 22 species including two new genera, one new subgenus and 12 new species are dealt with. The new taxa described are Aalinga gen. nov. with its type species Aalinga brunoflava sp. nov. (India: Andaman Islands), Buloria indica sp. nov. (India: Karnataka). Buloria zeylanica sp. nov. (Sri Lanka), Flatfronta bella sp. nov. (India: Karnataka; Bangladesh), Mohunia bifurcata sp. nov. (Myanmar), Mukaria omani sp. nov. (India: Gujarat, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh), Mukaria vakra sp. nov. (India: Karnataka), Mukariella gen. nov. with its type species Mukariella daii sp. nov. (India: Manipur), Myittana (Benglebra) cornuta sp. nov. (India: Karnataka), Myittana (Myittana) distincta sp. nov. (India: Karnataka), Myittana (Savasa) subgen. nov. with its type species Myittana (Savasa) constricta sp. nov. (India: Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Tamil Nadu, Uttarakhand) and Scaphotettix arcuatus sp. nov. (India: West Bengal, Meghalaya, Mizoram). Genera Buloria Distant (new placement), Crispina Distant (new placement) and Myittana Distant (new placement) are placed in the tribe Mukariini. Genus Mohunia is redefined based on the study of its type species. Benglebra Mahmood & Ahmed 1969 is synonymised with Myittana Distant 1908 and considered as its subgenus. Myittana (Benglebra) alami (Mahmood & Ahmed) comb. nov., Myittana (Savasa) bipunctata (Mahmood & Ahmed) comb. nov.. Myittana (Benglebra) introspina (Chen & Yang 2007) comb. nov. and Mukariella bambusana (Li & Chen) comb. nov. are proposed; the first two species were earlier placed in the genus Benglebra, the third species in the genus Mohunia and the fourth in the genus Mukaria. Genera Flatfronta Chen & Li and Myittana are new records for India and Scaphotettix striata Dai & Zhang is a new record for the Indian subcontinent and Sri Lanka. All taxa dealt with are described and illustrated and keys for genera and their species are also given.

Faunal biodiversity of the comb-footed spiders (Theridiidae: Araneomorphae: Araneae: Arachnida) in different states of India and union territories is presented herewith. A total of 138 species placed under 42 genera of Theridiidae were recorded in all states and union territories of India except for Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Nagaland, and Punjab and two union territories, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu, and Lakshadweep, out of which 45 species (32.6%) were strictly endemic. However, among them, 14 species seem to be case of erroneous report or misidentification. The maximum number of species (53 species) were recorded in Maharashtra followed by 51 from Kerala, 39 species from Gujarat, 33 species from Karnataka, 29 species from Tamil Nadu, 27 species from Jammu and Kashmir, 20 species from Uttarakhand, 17 species from West Bengal, 16 species from Assam, 15 species from Uttar Pradesh, 12 species each from Goa and Odisha, 11 species from Andaman and Nicobar Islands, 10 species each from Puducherry, Rajasthan and less than 10 species are recorded from other states. Four species are considerably widely distributed (in 10 or more states and union territories), viz. Chrysso angula (Tikader, 1970), Nesticodes rufipes (Lucas, 1846), Nihonhimea mundula (L. Koch, 1872), and Argyrodes argentatus O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1880. Several species of Theridiidae reported from India are recorded only from one state or from the type locality. Hence, extensive faunistic surveys for these spiders are required throughout the country.
