The paper presents the results of laboratory studies on the reproductive behaviour and biology of the Lynx Spider, Oxyopes chittrae Tikader found in cotton agroecosystems. The spider made a circular sperm web for sperm induction. A peculiar type of courtship behavior was exhibited. Mating lasted for 20-30 minutes. The female prepared 2-5 cocoons with an average of 3.5 cocoons in one season. The cocoon was lenticular in shape and attached to a twig or a leaf in a safe place. The female was found to take care of the eggs by sitting over them. Higher numbers of eggs were found in the first cocoon and the number decreased in the successive cocoons. Each cocoon contained an average of 25 eggs. The male took nine moults and the female 10 moults to mature. Male and female take an average of 194.28 ±5.51 and 269.63 ±7.68 days respectively for complete development. The total life span of the male was 287.18 ± 3.46 days and the female was 396.03 ± 2.87 days. The total length attained by male and female was 7.54 ±1.94mm and 7.84 ±2.37mm, respectively.
