Abstract

Two new genera and eight new species of jumping spiders from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) are diagnosed, described, and illustrated. The new genera are Dendroiciusgen. nov. (type species D. hotaruaesp. nov. (♂♀)) and Megaeupoagen. nov. (type species M. yanfengisp. nov. (♂♀)). The new species are Colyttus yiwuisp. nov. (♂♀), Euophrys xuyeisp. nov. (♂♀), Foliabitus weihangisp. nov. (♂♀), Nigorella menglasp. nov. (♂♀), Onomastus chenaesp. nov. (♂♀), and Synagelides platnickisp. nov. (♂♀). A new combination is proposed: Megaeupoa gravelyi (Caleb, 2018), comb. nov., ex Brettus Thorell, 1895. Two new synonyms have been proposed: Irura prima (Żabka, 1985), syn. nov. with Irura mandarina Simon, 1903; Evarcha digitata Peng & Li, 2002, syn. nov. with Ptocasius montiformis Song, 1991.
