Abstract

Three species of the spider family Ctenidae Keyserling, 1877 are recorded from Tibet of China, including two new species described here: Amauropelma medogensis sp. nov. (♂♀) and Bowie rotundus sp. nov. (♂♀) from Medog. The new collection data of Anahita medog Li & Yao, 2022 (♂♀) from Medog and Chayu is added. Photos of habitus, copulatory organs, and illustrations of copulatory organs, as well as the locality map of all three species are provided.
