Keywords: Distribution · Topics: Spider Taxonomy and Behavior Studies, Lepidoptera: Biology and Taxonomy, Genetic diversity and population structure

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: Charippus wangzuo K. Liu, sp. nov., Cytaea hezizhen K. Liu, sp. nov., Orientattus chushu K. Liu, sp. nov. and Yaginumanis yuanwencai K. Liu, sp. nov.. Previously unknown females of Eupoa pengi Liu, 2021, and Yaginumaella lobata 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.
