description Abstract. The present paper deals with three species of the genus Mimetus from China, including Mimetus echinatus Wang, 1990, Mimetus lamelliformis sp. n. (male), and Mimetus wangi sp. n. (female and male). Mimetus lamelliformis differs from the related species Mimetus echinatus Wang, 1990 by: cymbial tip with several slender long macrosetae; cymbium boat-shaped, length/width ratio about 3/1 in retrolateral view; vexillum about 1/2 length of cymbium in retrolateral view. Mimetus wangi sp. n. differs from the related species Mimetus sinicus Song & Zhu, 1993 by: the opisthosoma with a pair of distinct outgrowths in the dorsum; sperm duct nearly horizontal; spermathecae kidney shaped and contiguous. Photos of body and copulatory organs, line drawings of copulatory organs, as well as the locality map are provided.
