ABSTRACT. Two new species, Epocilla sirohi sp.n. (?) and Mogrus rajasthanensis sp.n. (?), are described from Rajasthan State of India. Partial sequence data of mitochondrial cytochrome C oxidase (mtCOI) from the holotypes of both new species were generated. The genus Mogrus Simon, 1882 is recorded from India for the first time.
