Abstract
The jumping spider genus Stenaelurillus Simon, 1886, belonging to the tribe Aelurillini (Maddison, 2015), is widely distributed and currently comprises 59 known species (World Spider Catalog 2024). Through recent investigations, we have identified two additional species of the genus Stenaelurillus that have not been documented in Gujarat state before. This paper therefore presents the new records and documentation of S. marusiki Logunov, 2001, and S. vyaghri Sanap, Joglekar & Caleb, 2022, marking their first appearances in Gujarat, India.
