description Thelcticopis is a type of spider that is very difficult to collect. In 2018, we collected two huntsman spiders in Guangxi. After diagnosis, they were found to belong to the genus of Thelcticopis. Four species of Thelcticopis Karsch, 1884 of the primitively segmented spider family Sparassidae are currently known from China. In this paper, we diagnosed and described a new species, Thelcticopis pinmini sp. nov., which was collected from Guangxi Province, China.
