A total of 520 species of spiders described under 236 genera belonging to 50 families were recorded in both the states of north India. The biodiversity of spiders is more in Uttar Pradesh (284 species, 146 genera, 36 families) than Uttarakhand (373 species, 202 genera, 45 families). However, most of the areas in both the states are still virgin regarding the faunal survey programmes and need intensive and extensive survey in those areas by enthusiastic workers.
