Marengo sachintendulkar is a species of jumping spider from India. It is named after the Indian former international cricketer, Sachin Tendulkar.

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.
