Marengo sachintendulkar explained

Marengo sachintendulkar is a species of jumping spider from India. It is named after the Indian former international cricketer, Sachin Tendulkar.^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]}

Diagnosis

Marengo sachintendulkar is most similar to Marengo crassipes and Marengo nitida, but it can be distinguished from them both by the abdomen having a median discontinuous whitish transverse band and two antero-medial longitudinal stripes reaching the transverse band. It also can be distinguished by the presence of a cheliceral notch in the males that makes a significant gap between the chelicerae and "S-shaped" insemination ducts in the females.

Range

Marengo sachintendulkar is only known to be distributed to north-west and southern India. Type specimens were collected from Gujarat University in Gujarat, Vedanthangal Bird Sanctuary of Kanchipuram district in Tamil Nadu and Pathiramanal island of Kerala.
