A new species of Chilobrachys (Araneae, Theraphosidae) from Guangdong, China

Abstract Background 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 & Li, 2022 (Yunnan), C.guangxiensis (Yin & Tan, 2000) (Guangxi, Hainan), C.hubei Song & Zhao, 1988 (Hubei, Chongqing), C.jinchengi Lin & Li, 2022 (Tibet), C.liboensis Zhu & Zhang, 2008 (Guizhou, Guangxi) and C.lubricus Yu et al., 2021 (Yunnan). New information A new species, Chilobrachysqishuoi Lin & 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.
