Abstract
Spiders are one of the most familiar and studied groups of arthropods. They are ubiquitous in most terrestrial ecosystems preying on other arthropods as well as their own type. Jumping spiders belong to family Salticidae and constitute the largest family of spiders. While studying animal diversity in Pench National Park, Maharashtra State, India, five species of jumping spiders were identified, which have not been previously described from the study area. These five species of jumping spiders, namely, Hasarius adansoni, Menemerus bivittatus, Plexippus paykulli, Plexippus petersi, and Telamonia dimidiata are new records for Pench National Park, Maharashtra.
