Abstract: The paper deals with two new species of the family Agelenidae and the genus Draconarius Ovtchinnikov, 1999:
Draconarius paululus sp. nov. and Draconarius risusus sp. nov., from southwest China. The genital organs indicate that they both belong
to the D. aspinatus-group. The DNA sequence data of cytochrome oxidase subunit I(COI)gene fragment(standard DNA barcodes)
of D. risusus sp. nov. are also provided. It is unambiguously distinguished from 13 known species of Draconarius based on Kimura
2-parameter(k2p)distances: intraspecific distances range from 0.0%~0.4%; interspecific distances range from 7.1%~20.4%.
