Spiders, belonging to the Phylum Arthropoda, class Arachnida and order Araneae, represent a significantly diverse and ecologically relevant group. The current study examined spider faunal diversity surrounding Kedar Dam, situated in the Kedar village, Sarangarh-Bilaigarh District of Chhattisgarh, India. This research focused on assessing spider species abundance, Guilt structure and developing a comprehensive species checklist for the spider fauna inhabiting the vicinity of Kedar Dam. Spiders were collected from the study area using a variety of methods and were subsequently identified using a taxonomic key specific to Indian spiders. The study was conducted from July 2024 to June 2025. A total of 60 species, representing 16 families, and 53 genera were documented in the study area. The Araneidae family showed the highest prevalence, with fifteen species identified. This research provides current and relevant data on species diversity surrounding Kedar dam. The dataset presented may assist as a valuable resource for upcoming investigations of spider.
