Type material. Holotype: ♀ (IZCAS-Ar39645, ZZ071): Xinlong Cave (N28.51247º, E107.46134º, 521 m), Jian- ping Township, Zheng’an County, Zunyi City, Guizhou Province, China, 5.VIII.2012, H.F. Zhao leg. Paratypes: 5♀♀ (IZCAS-Ar39646–Ar39650, ZZ071): same data as holotype .

Etymology. The specific name refers to the type locality, Jianping Township; adjective.

Diagnosis. Vappolotes jianpingensis sp. n. can be distinguished from V. ganlongensis sp. n. by the following: the posterior and lateral atrium margins are the same width (Fig. 4A), whereas the posterior margin of the atrium is 1/2 as wide as the lateral margin in V. ganlongensis sp. n. (Fig. 3A); the size of the spermathecae is subequal to the size of the copulatory ducts (Fig. 4B), whereas the spermathecae are approximately 1/2 the size of the copulatory ducts in V. ganlongensis sp. n. (Fig. 3B).

Description. Female (IZCAS-Ar39645). Clypeus yellow-brown, abdomen yellow-brown, other parts the same color as for the genus (Fig. 4 C–E). Total length 5.44. Carapace 2.56 long, 1.64 wide. Abdomen 2.88 long, 2.24 wide. Eye sizes and interdistances: AME 0.10, ALE 0.13, PME 0.12, PLE 0.14; AME–AME 0.04, AME–ALE 0.04, AME–PME 0.08, ALE–PLE 0, PME–PME 0.08, PME–PLE 0.10. Leg measurements: I 9.16 (2.66, 2.87, 2.09, 1.54); II 8.25 (2.23, 2.45, 2.18, 1.39); III 7.84 (2.16, 2.54, 1.96, 1.18); IV 9.69 (2.54, 3.48, 2.14, 1.53). Epigynum: about 1.5 times wider than long; atrium large, occupying 2/3 of epigynum, length subequal to width, width of the posterolateral margin equal to the width of the lateral margin; copulatory ducts large, the same size as the spermathecae; spermathecae occupying 1/2 of the epigynum, about 2 times longer than wide; fertilization ducts 2.5 times longer than wide (Fig. 4A, B).

Male. Unknown.

Variation. Total length of females 5.34–5.53 (n=6).
