Are all of these requests for academic work you’re supposed to be doing by yourself, rather than being given answers?
Understood but in our college no archeologist/taxonomist available. My work is on biodiversity not on taxonomy. I collected more than 400 nos of spider. So i try to identify with the help of every available options. I m student of entomology but i work on spiders.if u know other option please give a comment. I also thankfull for your help and support.
Thank you for explaining. Eventually you will benefit from learning to identify spiders, at least to genus. We aren’t all experts on this website.

Ok thats great i will send good photograph of these specimen
