Diversity of jumping spiders (Araneae, Salticidae) in the Jinggangshan National Nature Reserve, Jiangxi, China
A list of 94 salticid species of 48 genera collected from Jinggangshan National Nature Reserve in Jiangxi Province is provided. Four new salticid species are diagnosed, described, and illustrated: <i>Charippuswangzuo</i> K. Liu, <b>sp. nov.</b>, <i>Cytaeahezizhen</i> K. Liu, <b>sp. nov.</b>, <i>Orientattuschushu</i> K. Liu, <b>sp. nov.</b> and <i>Yaginumanisyuanwencai</i> K. Liu, <b>sp. nov.</b>. Previously unknown females of <i>Eupoapengi</i> Liu, 2021, and <i>Yaginumaellalobata</i> Peng, Tso & Li, 2002 are described for the first time. In contrast, the data also shows that there are many nature reserves with a high percentage of unknown spider species in need of further intensive and extensive survey. Hence, our study will make a significant contribution to our understanding of species diversity and the importance of the reserve.
