Etymology.
The specific epithet is a patronym in honor of Dr. Xianjin Peng, who has made great contributions in studying the jumping spider fauna of
China
.
Diagnosis.
Differs from
Chinophrys liujiapingensis
(
Yang & Tang, 1997
)
, the other species of this genus, in the presence of six promarginal teeth on the chelicera (
Fig. 5
; four in
C. liujiapingensis
), the shape of the proximal tegular lobe and the longer retrolateral tibial apophysis of the male palp (
Figs 3–4
).
Description.
Male
(
holotype
, UBC-SEM AR00168). Carapace length 2.5; abdomen length 2.4. Chelicera (
Fig. 5
): yellow brown; promargin with six small teeth, retromargin with a six-cuspid fissident tooth. Palp (
Figs 3–4
): gray brown. Embolus long and coiled for about a circle; palpal tibia with a long finger-like retrolateral apophysis and a round ventral bump. First tibia with three pairs of ventral macrosetae; first metatarsus with two pairs of ventral macrosetae. Measurements of legs: I 5.1, II 4.5, III 5.1, IV 5.2. Color in alcohol (
Fig. 1
): carapace dark brown, with some white scales; abdomen dark gray brown, with light yellow dots and chevron-like markings, anterior and median part with a relatively sclerotized area; legs dark brown.

1 male holotype, dorsal view; 2 female paratype, dorsal view; 3 male left palp, ventral view; 4 male left palp, retrolateral view; 5 male left chelicera, back view; 6 male endites and labium, ventral view; 7 female endites and labium, ventral view; 8 epigynum, ventral view; 9 cleared epigynum, dorsal view.

Female
(
paratype
, UBC-SEM AR00169). Carapace length 2.4 (variation: 2.4–2.5, n=2); abdomen length 2.9. Chelicera: with four small teeth on promargin and one four-cuspid tooth on retromargin. First tibia with three pairs of ventral macrosetae; first metatarsus with two pairs of ventral macrosetae. Measurements of legs: I 3.7, II 3.5, III 4.5, IV 4.7. Epigynum (
Fig. 8
): median septum narrow with posterior end wider; with coiled grooves within window. Vulva (
Fig. 9
): copulatory duct long and thin; spermatheca with a spherical head region and a kidney-shaped body region. Color in alcohol (
Fig. 2
): similar to that of male, but legs paler in color with brown annuli.
Natural history.
Specimens were found by beating foliage in forest and at forest edge.
