Etymology.
The generic name is combined of “
Chin
” of “
China
”, origin of the
type
species and “
ophrys
” referring to the jumping spider genus “
Euophrys
”, which has similar color pattern and body form as this genus; feminine in gender.
Diagnosis.
Medium sized spiders. Chelicera with multiple (four to six) promarginal teeth and one fissident retromarginal tooth of five to six cusps (
Fig. 5
). Embolus long and coiled; tegulum with a proximal lobe over tibia (
Figs 3–4
). Epigynal window present with a median septum (
Fig. 8
). Copulatory duct not highly convoluted; spermatheca swollen and divided into head and body (

Chinophrys

C. L. Koch
, but differs in genital structure and teeth pattern of chelicera.
Remarks.
Based on the original description,
Laufeia liujiapingensis
Yang & Tang, 1997
is transferred to
Chinophrys
,
because of its similarities in cheliceral teeth pattern and palpal structure with the
type
species (
