Taxonomic notes on some species of crab spiders of the genus Borboropactus Simon, 1884 are provided.

• Two new species, Borboropactus palaniensis sp. nov. (♀; India) and B. gialong sp. nov. (♀; Vietnam) are described.
• Borboropactus bituberculatus Simon, 1884 and B. semenchenkoi Omelko & Marusik, 2022 are regarded as junior subjective synonyms of B. cinerascens (Doleschall, 1859).
• Borboropactus bangkongeus Barrion & Litsinger, 1995 is removed from the synonymy of B. cinerascens, and its female is described for the first time.
