The list is compiled following Platnick's The World Spider Catalog. Extensive search of scientific peerreviewed publications in the region revealed 40 new species, which are not included in Platnick's list. The checklist is compared extensively with Tikader's list. In all, 1442 species of spiders in 59 families have been listed as described formally from India. Taxonomic verification is recommended for 51 species. Seventy-nine species listed by Tikader do not occur in India. Fifty-three species listed by Dyal and included in Platnick's list do not occur in India. The paper lists replacement names, incertae sedis, nomina nuda, nomina dubia, transfers, synonyms, wrong taxonomic placements, Dyal's species, etc. The checklist is updated up to 15 August 2005.
