In Bangladesh, very few contributions are available on the taxonomic study on these arachnids. The present paper contains an updated checklist of the spider fauna of Bangladesh based on the published records of different workers and the identified collections of the recent studies by the author. It includes a total of 334 species of spiders belong to the infraorders Mygalomorphae and Araneomorphae under 21 families and 100 genera. A brief diagnosis of different families and their domination together with the distribution throughout the country are provided herewith. Key words: Checklist, spiders, Araneae, Arachnida, Bangladesh INTRODUCTION Bangladesh is basically a riverine agricultural country. It lies between 20.35ºN and 26.75ºN latitude and 88.03ºE and 92.75ºE longitude, covering an area of 1,47,570 sq. km (55,126 sq. miles). The country as such offers varied climatic situations viz., temperature, rainfall, humidity, fogmist, dew and Haor- frost, winds etc. (Rashid 1977). With the vast agricultural lands, also there are different kinds of evergreen, deciduous and mangrove forests staying different areas of the country viz., the southern Sunderbans, northern Bhawal and Madhupur forests and eastern Chittagong and Chittagong Hill-Tracts forest. Along with the agricultural lands, each of the forest ecosystems is composed of numerous species of spider fauna of the country.

Wijesinghe Department of Entomology American Museum of Natural History Central Park West at 79th Street New York, New York 10024 The monumental Histoire Naturelle des Araignées, published in Paris from 1897 to 1901 by Eugene Simon, still remains the only encyclopedic treatment of the spider genera of the world. In this day and age, the fact that the keys and the descriptions are in Latin is an increasingly serious inconvenience. It is hoped that a translation of Simon's keys to the Groupes of the large and systematically difficult family of jumping spiders, the Salticidae, will be a welcome aid to the increasing numbers of workers in that family. While many, though not all, of Simon's groups are admittedly artificial, they still represent the only available general scheme for identification and access to the literature. The features that Simon used in his keys, such as the relative position of the posterior median eyes, the shape of the ocular quadrangle, the curvature of the line of the anterior eyes, the relative lengths of the third and fourth legs, the presence and position of the thoracic groove, and the spination of the legs, to mention a few, still serve for identification and classification.

Of these, Cheliceroides brevipalpis is considered as new to science; Cocalus murinus Simon, 1899 and Phaeacius fimbriatus Simon, 1900 are new from India. The former two genera are the first records from the country. While providing diagnosis of the newly recorded genera, description and necessary illustrations of the new species are also provided. Recorded genera and species are suitably keyed together with relevant illustrations. Lyssomanes sikkimensis Tikader, 1967 is considered as the junior synonym of Telamonia festiva Thorell, 1887.

INTRODUCTION Tea, a major monoculture plantation crop, is a permanent but typical ecosystem (Fig. 1) that provides habitat continuity for 1031 species of arthropods and 82 species of nematodes globally (Chen & Chen 1989; Hazarika et al. 2009). In Asia, 230 species of insects and mite pests attack tea (Muraleedharan 1992).

The family Salticidae (jumping spiders) is the largest family of spiders; it is known throughout the world, and consists of nearly 6,000 described species belonging to 625 genera, holding 13% of all species of spiders (Foelix, 1996; Jackson et al., 2001). Salticids usually show distinct sexual dimorphism in morphology of the adults. As a result, the male-female complementarity remains unclear for many nominal species in this family. This means that more than a few synonymies are likely hidden in the current classification of the family. Furthermore, due to insufficient sampling efforts in tropical and subtropical zones, it is likely that many species are yet to be discovered. The genus Phintella Strand in Bösenberg and Strand (1906) is one of the most speciose genera in the family Salticidae, and is thought to have diversified in the Oriental and Palearctic regions.

Chirothecia insulana Kishida, 1914, never recognized since its original description, is redescribed based on new materials and trans­ ferred to Harmochirus. This spider has long been misidentified with an Indone­ sian species, Harmochirus brachiatus (Thorell, 1877). Harmochirus nigriculus Logunov et Wesolowska, 1992, recently described from the Russian Far East, is newly recorded from Japan and redescribed on the basis of Japanese materials. Harmochirus niger Kishida, 1910, is regarded as a junior synonym of Harmoch­ irus pullus (Bosenberg et Strand, 1906). Two new species are described from Japan under the names Bianor japonicus sp.

L. Koch 1846 is a primarily oriental genus of relatively large salticids, possessing a broad, depressed prosoma and a slender opisthosoma, with an overall flattened body bearing lustrous markings made up of iridescent, scale-like hairs. These spiders are also sometimes referred to as fighting spiders because of the combative nature of the males, in which the first pair of legs is often greatly elongated (Zabka 1985; Murphy & Murphy, 2000; Li et. al. 2002; Suguro 2012). Although the genus Thiania now includes 23 species, only a single species has hitherto been recorded in India, T. bhamoensis Thorell 1887 (WSC 2020). Here we report the occurrence of Thiania cf. subopressa, only the second species in the genus to be photographed in this country (Figures 1-2).
