Abstract

A list of 34 thomisid species belonging to 21 genera collected in Jangxi Province of China is provided. Five new species are described: Angaeusxieluae Liu, sp. nov. (♂♀), Lysitelessubspirellus Liu, sp. nov. (♀), Oxytatemucunica Liu, sp. nov. (♀), Phartalingxiufengica Liu, sp. nov. (♀), Stephanopisxiangzhouica Liu, sp. nov. (♀). A new combination is proposed: Ebelingiaforcipata (Song & Zhu, 1993) comb. nov. (ex. Ebrechtella Dahl, 1907). Previously unknown females of E.forcipata (Song & Zhu, 1993), Oxytatebicornis Liu, Liu & Xu, 2017, and Xysticuslesserti Schenkel, 1963 are described for the first time. Stephanopis O Pickard-Cambridge, 1869, a genus previously known from Australasia and South America, is recorded from the Asian mainland for the first time.
