Epocilla aura (Dyal, 1935), (Family: Salticidae) is a medium sized jumping spider species described in 1935 by Dyal. It is found in India and Pakistan. Studies on the distribution of this species in the state of Chhattisgarh are limited. Available scientific records indicate that Epocilla aura has been primarily recorded in the Gariaband district of Chhattisgarh, while there are no confirmed records from other districts. The aim of this study is to provide a brief overview of the current distribution status of Epocilla aura in various districts of Chhattisgarh. Based on available literature and published research, it is clear that comprehensive surveys on spider biodiversity are lacking in most districts of the state, resulting in an incomplete understanding of the true distribution area of this species. This study describes the distribution of this spider, Epocilla aura, in eight districts of Chhattisgarh state. It has also been documented in two protected areas: Indravati National Park and Udanti Wildlife Sanctuary.
