Abstract

The spider genus Echinax Deeleman-Reinhold, 2001 is reviewed in China. Two new species, E. breviducta sp. nov. (♂♀) and E. wuzhishan sp. nov. (♀), are described and illustrated. The female of E. baisha Lu & Li, 2023 is reported for the first time, and three known species, E. anlongensis Yang, Song & Zhu, 2004, E. oxyopoides (Deeleman-Reinhold, 1995) and E. panache Deeleman-Reinhold, 2001, are illustrated.
