Abstract
The types of four Oxyopes species kept in the British Musuem (Natural History), London and the National Zoological collection, Zoological Survey of India (Kolkata) are reexamined. Three new synonyms are recognized: Oxyopes nilgiricus Sherriffs 1955 syn. nov., O. pankaji Gajbe & Gajbe 2000 syn. nov. and O. ratnae Tikader 1970 syn. nov. with O. hindostanicus Pocock 1901. The updated distribution of O. hindostanicus is mapped with records from several new localities from India and Sri Lanka.
