A new species Cheironitis van Lansberge, 1875 (Cheironitis aiweiae sp. nov.), is described from Shiren Gou, Urumqi, in the XinJiang Uygur Autonomous Region of China. Cheironitis moeris (Pallas, 1787) is also reported from this region. These two original observations complement the composition of Cheironitis species in China and further expand our knowledge of their distribution.
