The genus Steatoda Sundevall, 1833 (Family Theridiidae) is represented by 6 species in India. Steatoda erigoniformis has been previously reported from Maharashtra and Rajasthan. Here we provide the first report from Gujarat State. The specimens were hand-collected and studied under a Zeiss Stemi 508 stereomicroscope, photographed using an Axiocam Erc 5s microscopic camera. The species was identified based on Levy & Amitai (1982) and Tripathi et al. (2023). The specimens have been deposited in the Department of Zoology, R.R. Lalan College, Bhuj-Kachchh, Gujarat, India.
