Abstract
The salticid spider genus Chinattus is new to the Japanese fauna. One new species is described as Chinattus ogatai. Two species, Chinattus dactyloides comb. nov. and Chinattus furcatus are newly recorded from Japan. C. dactyloides is transferred from the genus Hasarius. The female of C. furcatus is described for the first time. Spiders of this genus are distinguishable from other Japanese salticid spiders by their general appearances or genital morphologies.
