Spiders of the genus Murricia Simon, 1882 (Araneae: Hersiliidae) from India were studied based on freshly collected material from different localities of the Andhra Pradesh state. The study resulted in the detection of two species, one of which is the known species Murricia triangularis Baehr & Baehr, 1993 and the other one is a new species, Murricia hyderabadensis. So far, this genus has been known from India from female specimens only. The present article provides the redescription of M. triangularis and the description of M. hyderabadensis sp. nov. based on female specimens.
