| Abstract | During June–July 2017, eight females and two males were hand-collected. Of the collected females, four were used for a taxonomic study, two for observing mating behaviour, and two for observing the production of egg sacs and further postembryonic development of their offspring. Of the two collected males, one was used for a taxonomic study (the holotype), and both were used for observing mating behaviour. During August–December 2017, additional 15–20 females with egg sacs, as well as over 20 sub-adults were observed. To observe egg and postembryonic development, gravid females were housed in clear, round plastic containers (9 cm × 6 cm). Wet cotton was placed in the containers to maintain moisture. The containers were maintained at a room temperature at a 12L:12D light cycle. Spiders were fed with Drosophila. Specimens were photographed by means of Canon DSLR 60D, 60-mm lens with Canon Speedlite 430 EX II, Canon Speedlite 600 EX-RT or Macro ring lite YN14EX external flash. The specimens were preserved in 70% ethanol and examined using a Leica S8APO stereoscopic microscope. Detailed micro-photographs were obtained using Leica M205 A stereomicroscope with a Leica DFC500 HD camera attached to it that is enabled with a Leica Application Suite (LAS) version 3.8. The epigyne was dissected and macerated in 10% KOH to clear soft tissue. Temporary preparations were observed and photographed by means of a Leica DM1000 compound microscope with a Leica EC3 camera attached to it. Line drawings were prepared with the GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP) [MonABSTRACT. A new species of the hisponine jumping spider genus Jerzego Maddison, 2014 — Jerzego sunillimaye sp.n. (#$) — is described. The species was found inhabiting the jungle floor of Aarey Milk Colony, Mumbai (Maharashtra, India). A detailed description and diagnostic illustrations of the species along with observations of mating, ovipostion, and postembryonic development are presented.
