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

In DNA barcoding, mitochondrial gene cytochrome c oxidase I recommended as a tool for the rapid identification and discovery of species. Genus Eurema, Family Pieridae is a highly diverse and distributed along wide geographic ranges in the world as well as India including approximately 70 species throughout the world. The present study is preliminary approach, we included n=12 specimen (3 samples per species) of four different Eurema species, listed in IUCN as Least concern species, were collected from Uttarakhand (India), to give the DNA barcodes and examine patterns of gene evolution through molecular phylogenetics with publicly available sequences of other 17 Eurema species present in different countries.The generated (n=12) COI sequences compared with the sequences of the conspecifics submitted from different geographic regions, all four species were correctly identified. The obtained COI barcodes clearly showed the intraspecific and interspecific distance among four Eurema species by using a K2P technique. In spite NJ, clustering analysis also successfully discriminated all four species. In phylogenetic topology, included 21 Eurema species in the Bayesian and MaximumLikelihood analysis recovered all species in two monophyletic clades with strong support and resolved taxonomic position within species groups. Although higher-level relationships among other Eurema species groups require additional study.Keywords: Eurema; Cytochromec oxidase (COI); DNA barcoding; Phylogeny; Uttarakhand DNA barcoding (http://www.barcodinglife.org) has gained so much popularity during the last decade in documenting the global biodiversity (Hebert et al. 2003ab, Ebach and Holdrege 2005, Abdo and Golding 2007, Meusnier et al. 2008, Monaghan et al. 2009, Hajibabaei et al. 2011, Haye et al. 2012, Leray and Knowlton 2015. Cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) is a widely used standard mitochondrial gene for DNA barcoding to facilitate identification of biological specimens (Hebert et al. 2003). DNA Barcoding is also using as a tool for discrimination between cryptic species and to discover new species based on nucleotide sequence divergence. Availability of large amount of sequences in public databases will indeed speed up species description and identification for taxonomist (Blaxter 2004, Ratnasingham andHebert 2007).

DNA barcoding has become a popular method of choice for identification of specimen based on molecular techniques. Here, we present preliminary findings on generating robust DNA barcode library of Cervids of India. The dataset comprising the DNA barcode library of seven deer species included in the genus Cervus, Axis and Muntiacus classified under family Cervidae. Mitochondrial Cytochrome C Oxidase subunit I gene of ca. 710 bp accepted widely as DNA barcode region, was used for generating species specific signature from 31 known samples of seven Indian deer species. Expectedly, the NJ tree clustered three genera i.e. Cervus, Axis and Muntiacus of Cervids of India into three clades. Further, the intra-and interspecies distances based on Kimura 2 parameter model also supported the results. The average intra-and interspecies sequence divergence were 0.011 (±0.09) and 0.65 (±0.14), respectively. The present study has exhibited that DNA barcoding has discriminating power to delineate boundaries among the closely related species. The data generated are of high importance to the law enforcement agencies in effective identification of species in wildlife offence cases. The similar approach can be utilized for generating DNA barcodes for other Indian mammals for making effective management and conservation action decisions.
