Etymology. The specific epithet is a patronym in honor of Dr. Xianjin Peng, who has made great contributions in studying the jumping spider fauna of China.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis. Differs from Chinophrys liujiapingensis (Yang & Tang, 1997), the other species of this genus, in the presence of six promarginal teeth on the chelicera (Fig. 5; four in C. liujiapingensis), the shape of the proximal tegular lobe and the longer retrolateral tibial apophysis of the male palp (Figs 3–4).
Description
Description.Male (holotype, UBC-SEM AR00168). Carapace length 2.5; abdomen length 2.4. Chelicera (Fig. 5): yellow brown; promargin with six small teeth, retromargin with a six-cuspid fissident tooth. Palp (Figs 3–4): gray brown. Embolus long and coiled for about a circle; palpal tibia with a long finger-like retrolateral apophysis and a round ventral bump. First tibia with three pairs of ventral macrosetae; first metatarsus with two pairs of ventral macrosetae. Measurements of legs: I 5.1, II 4.5, III 5.1, IV 5.2. Color in alcohol (Fig. 1): carapace dark brown, with some white scales; abdomen dark gray brown, with light yellow dots and chevron-like markings, anterior and median part with a relatively sclerotized area; legs dark brown.
Female (paratype, UBC-SEM AR00169). Carapace length 2.4 (variation: 2.4–2.5, n= 2); abdomen length 2.9. Chelicera: with four small teeth on promargin and one four-cuspid tooth on retromargin. First tibia with three pairs of ventral macrosetae; first metatarsus with two pairs of ventral macrosetae. Measurements of legs: I 3.7, II 3.5, III 4.5, IV 4.7. Epigynum (Fig. 8): median septum narrow with posterior end wider; with coiled grooves within window. Vulva (Fig. 9): copulatory duct long and thin; spermatheca with a spherical head region and a kidney-shaped body region. Color in alcohol (Fig. 2): similar to that of male, but legs paler in color with brown annuli. Natural history. Specimens were found by beating foliage in forest and at forest edge.
