Abstract
Herbiphantes Tanasevitch, 1992 and Labullinyphia van Helsdingen, 1985 are two genera for the first time in China. Two new species, Herbiphantes acutalis n. sp. (male, female) and Labullinyphia furcata n. sp. (male, female), are described from Gaoligong Mountains, Yunnan. Detailed morphological description of both new species, habitus photos, copulatory organs, line drawings of copulatory organs, as well as the locality map are provided.
