Tmarus Simon, 1875 is a relatively large spider genus, currently includes 227 species distributed worldwide. Fanjing Mountain Nature Reserve is one of China’s most biodiverse regions. However, Tmarus can be regarded as being poorly represented in Fanjing Mountain, with only one species having been recorded so far: T. fanjing Yang & Yu, 2022.
Recently, various expeditions to Fanjing Mountain Nature Reserve were carried out by the authors. In this paper, two Tmarus species were brought to light by those expeditions: T. fanjing Yang & Yu, 2022 and T. circinalis Song & Chai, 1990. T. fanjing is redescribed, based on new material and the female is described and illustrated for the first time. The supplementary micrographs of T. circinalis are given for the first time. The DNA barcodes and a distribution map of both species are provided for future use.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
