Sumario:BACKGROUND: Tmarus Simon, 1875 is a relatively large spider genus, currently includes 227 species distributed worldwide. Fanjing Mountain Nature Reserve is one of China’s most biodiverse regions. However, Tmarus can be regarded as being poorly represented in Fanjing Mountain, with only one species having been recorded so far: T.fanjing Yang & Yu, 2022. NEW INFORMATION: Recently, various expeditions to Fanjing Mountain Nature Reserve were carried out by the authors. In this paper, two Tmarus species were brought to light by those expeditions: T.fanjing Yang & Yu, 2022 and T.circinalis Song & Chai, 1990. T.fanjing is redescribed, based on new material and the female is described and illustrated for the first time. The supplementary micrographs of T.circinalis are given for the first time. The DNA barcodes and a distribution map of both species are provided for future use.
