Abstract:

Oxyopes machuensis new species and Oxyopes shakilae new species are described here from Punjab, Pakistan. Oxyopes machuensis new species is close to Oxyopes wroughtoni Pocock but differs from the latter and other congeners due to the presence of deep invaginations on the both anterior and posterior side of epigynal plate in this new species. Oxyopes shakilae new species resembles somewhat with Oxyopes ryvesii Pocock but differs due to the presence of hexagonal epigynal plate in new species. Similarly internal epigynal structure in both new species also differs from other species of this genus.
