Abstract
Two new species of the purse-web spider genus Atypus Latreille, 1804, collected from China, are diagnosed and described based on the genital morphology of both sexes: A.dawei sp. nov. (♂♀) and A.liui sp. nov. (♂♀). These species are widespread in central China. Atypusdawei sp. nov. is found in Anhui, Hunan, and Jiangxi provinces, while A.liui sp. nov. is distributed across Anhui, Guangxi, Guizhou, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, and Jiangxi provinces.
