Genus Chinophrys gen. nov.

Type species: Chinophrys pengi Zhang & Maddison, sp. nov.

Etymology. The generic name is combined of “ Chin ” of “ China ”, origin of the type species and “ ophrys ” referring to the jumping spider genus “ Euophrys ”, which has similar color pattern and body form as this genus; feminine in gender.

Diagnosis. Medium sized spiders. Chelicera with multiple (four to six) promarginal teeth and one fissident retromarginal tooth of five to six cusps (Fig. 5). Embolus long and coiled; tegulum with a proximal lobe over tibia (Figs 3–4). Epigynal window present with a median septum (Fig. 8). Copulatory duct not highly convoluted; spermatheca swollen and divided into head and body (Fig. 9). Chinophrys is similar in body form and color to Euophrys C. L. Koch, but differs in genital structure and teeth pattern of chelicera.

Remarks. Based on the original description, Laufeia liujiapingensis Yang & Tang, 1997 is transferred to Chinophrys, because of its similarities in cheliceral teeth pattern and palpal structure with the type species (NEW COMBINATION).
