Abstract
A new species of the spider family Thomisidae from Jianfeng National Nature Reserve, Ledong County, Hainan Province (Hainan Island), China, is described under the name of Lysiteles anchorus. The new species resembles Lysiteles ambrosii Ono 2001, from Bhutan and L. okumae Ono 1980 from Japan, but can be distinguished from these known species by having a pair of lateral pockets on epigynum and by the unique structure of male palp, especially the anchor-shaped embolus and the huge, retrolateral apophysis on tibia.
