A survey was undertaken to study the spider genus Lipocrea Thorell, 1878, from Guiyang City, Guizhou Province, southwest China. A total of two species is here addressed based on morphology and five methods of molecular species delimitation, comprising L. guiyang J. Zhang, Yu & Mi, sp. nov. and L. fusiformis (Thorell, 1877), the type species of the genus as well as a new record for mainland China. These two species are distributed in Huaxi District and Kaiyang County of Guiyang, respectively, providing the first formal record of this genus from mainland China.
