Faunal biodiversity of the wolf spiders (Lycosidae: Araneomorphae: Araneae: Arachnida) in different states of India and union territories is presented herewith. A total of 155 species placed under 25 genera of Lycosidae were recorded in all states and union territories of India except Nagaland, Daman and Diu and Dadra and Nagar Haveli, and Lakshdweep, out of which 91 species (58.7%) were strictly endemic. However, among them 8 species seem to be erroneous report or misidentification. Maximum number of speci es were recorded in Maharashtra followed by 65 species in West Bengal, 57 species in Gujarat, 50 species in Uttarakhand, 39 species in Madhya Pradesh, 38 species in Kerala, 36 species in Karnataka, 33 species in Jammu and Kashmir and less than 30 species are recorded in other states. Six species of Lycosidae are widely distributed, viz. Wadicosa fidelis (O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1872) (25 states, 3 union territories), Pardosa sumatrana (Thorell, 1890) (23 states, 1 union territory), Pardosa pseudoannulata (Bösenberg and Strand, 1906) (19 states, 1 union territory), Hippasa agelenoides (Simon, 1884) (17 states, 1 union territory), Hippasa greenalliae (Blackwall, 1867) (16 states, 1 union territory), and Lycosa tista Tikader, 1970 (16 states). About one-third of the species of Lycosidae reported in India are recorded only in one state or from the type locality. Hence, extensive faunistic surveys for these spiders are required.

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.

This review deals with the species diversity of the orb-weaving spiders (Araneidae: Araneae: Arachnida) in different states of India and the union territories. A total of 256 species belonging to 49 genera of Araneidae were recorded in all states and the union territories of India except for Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu, out of which 99 species (38.4%) were strictly endemic. Two genera of orb-weaver spiders are highly speciose, e.g. Araneus Clerck, 1757 (39 species) and Neoscona Simon, 1864 (36 species). About 119 species of these orb-weaver spiders were recorded from Maharashtra followed by 91 species from West Bengal, 81 species from Kerala, 79 species from Karnataka, 75 species from Gujarat, 71 species from Tamil Nadu, 65 species from Assam, 63 species from Uttar Pradesh, 58 species from Uttarakhand, 57 species from Madhya Pradesh, 47 species each from Odisha and Jammu and Kashmir, 41 species from Meghalaya, 34 species from Chhattisgarh, 32 species from Goa, 31 species from Rajasthan, 29 species from Andaman and Nicobar Islands, 27 species from Andhra Pradesh, 24 species from Sikkim, 21 species each from Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram and Tripura, and less than 20 species were recorded from other states and union territories. Seven species are distributed in more than 20 states and union territories, viz. Argiope pulchella Thorell, 1881 (23 states, 3 union territories); Nephila pilipes (Fabricius, 1793) (24 states, 2 union territory); Neoscona mukerjei Tikader, 1980 (23 states, 1 union territory); Neoscona theisi (Walckenaer, 1837) (21 states, 3 union territories); Araneus mitificus (Simon, 1886) (21 states, 3 union territories); Argiope aemula (Walckenaer, 1837) (21 states, 2 union territories) and Eriovixia excelsa (Simon, 1889) (20 states, 2 union territories). Several species of Araneidae reported from India are recorded only from one state or from the type locality. Hence, intensive and extensive faunistic surveys for these spiders are required throughou

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.

The Indian Skimmer is a globally threatened bird native to Bangladesh, India, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, and Vietnam.  In India, it is more confined to the north, from Punjab through Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh to West Bengal, extending up to Odisha.  Earlier, the bird was known to breed only in Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, we confirm here the breeding of the Indian Skimmer along the river Mahanadi near Mundali, Odisha, eastern India.  So, further monitoring at the breeding site and survey along the entire Mahanadi River are essential to understand the status of the Indian skimmer in Odisha.  The information will also aid in reassessing its global status and formulating conservation plans.
