A new species – Theridion odisha sp.n. – is described from Odisha state, India. An updated checklist of Theridion species known from India with taxonomic remarks is enlisted and mapped. Two new combinations are also proposed, Nihonhimea indicum (Tikader, 1977) comb.n., ex Theridion and Nihonhimea tikaderi (Patel, 1973) comb.n., ex Theridion. Nihonhimea indicum (Tikader, 1977) is considered a senior synonym of Parasteatoda brookesiana (Barrion & Litsinger, 1995).
