Type material.

Holotype China • ♂ ( SYNU -1168 ); Anhui, Chizhou City, Guichi District, Qishan Scenic Area ; 30°38'19"N, 117°29'57"E, 70 m; 12.I.2022; H. Fu & K. Yang leg. GoogleMaps Paratype: China • ♀ ( SYNU -1169 ), same data as holotype GoogleMaps .

Etymology.

The specific name refers to the type locality and is a noun in apposition.

Diagnosis.

This new species is similar to Jingneta exilocula ( Tong and Li 2008: fig. 2 A-H) in the horn-shaped apophysis of palpal tibia, but can be distinguished by the chelicerae lacking a stridulatory file on the lateral margin (Fig. 13 A View Figure 13 ) vs. with a stridulatory file, palpal femur with six long setae retrolaterally (Fig. 1 D View Figure 1 ) vs. eight long setae, tip of bulb with a spine-like prolateral sclerite (Fig. 2 A, C View Figure 2 ) vs. lacking and female genital area with a scape (Fig. 3 C View Figure 3 ) vs. lacking.
