Abstract
A new mysmenid genus, Chimena gen. nov., is reported from China. Two new species: C.qiong sp. nov. (Hainan, ♂♀, the type species) and C.nantou sp. nov. (Taiwan, ♀) are illustrated and described in detail. A new combination is suggested: Chimenataiwanica (Ono, 2007) comb. nov. (Taiwan, ♂♀, transferred from Mysmena Simon, 1894). The molecular phylogeny and morphological characters were used to discuss the taxonomy and circumscription of the newly erected genus.
