Abstract:

The theraphosid spider genus Chilobrachys Karsch, 1892 contains 30 species, almost entirely limited to Indochina, India, Sri Lanka and China. Six species of Chilobrachys are currently known from China: C. dominus Lin amp; Li, 2022 (Yunnan), C. guangxiensis (Yin amp; Tan, 2000) (Guangxi, Hainan), C. hubei Song amp; Zhao, 1988 (Hubei, Chongqing), C. jinchengi Lin amp; Li, 2022 (Tibet), C. liboensis Zhu amp; Zhang, 2008 (Guizhou, Guangxi) and C. lubricus Yu et al., 2021 (Yunnan).A new species, Chilobrachys qishuoi Lin amp; Li, sp. n., is described from Guangdong, China, on the basis of both sexes. This is the easternmost Chilobrachys species known. Photos and a morphological description of the new species are provided. Type materials are deposited in the Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IZCAS) in Beijing, China.
