The present experiment was conducted to study the agrobiont spiders in Navsari Agricultural University campus in relation to their diversity and morphological characteristics (Morphometrics of total body length, width of cephalothorax, length of four legs), at Department of Agricultural Entomology, N. M. College of Agriculture, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari (Gujarat) India, during January 2017 to December 2017. Total 48 species of agrobiont spiders belongs to 34 genera, from 12 families were recorded from different localities of NAU campus. Among 48 species of agrobiont spiders, the total body length, width of cephalothorax and leg formula of largest species i.e. A. aemula and Olios sp. were 21.59 ± 0.23 mm, 5.33 ± 0.20 mm, 2/1/4/3 and 18.50 ± 0.18 mm, 7.43 ± 0.19 mm, 2/1/4/3 respectively, while Cyclosa sp. was the smallest in size with measurement of total body length (1.10 ± 0.11 mm), width of cephalothorax (0.38 ± 0.05) and leg formula (1/4/2/3).
