Abstract
This study provides taxonomic contributions to the genus Mogrus Simon, 1882 from India, with the descriptions of two new species: Mogrus shushka Tripathi, Kadam & Prajapati sp. nov. and Mogrus pune Tripathi, Kulkarni & Kadam sp. nov. Furthermore, the male of Mogrus rajasthanensis Caleb, Chatterjee, Tyagi, Kundu & Kumar, 2017 is described for the first time, while Mogrus larisae Logunov, 1995 is newly reported from India. We provide detailed morphological descriptions and images, as well as discuss variations in female genitalia within the genus.
