The genus Baptista Distant, 1903, is recorded for the first time from China. Four species are treated in this paper, with B. digitata Andersen, 1989 and B. hoedli Zettel, 2004 newly recorded from China and two additional species, B. curvicornis sp. n. and B. obtusa sp. n., described as new to science. Photographs of the male and female dorsal habitus, male fore legs, male abdominal sternites, and male genitalic structures are provided, accompanied by line drawings of the male fore tibial details, male paramere, habitat photographs, and a distribution map for all Baptista species. A key to all four species occurring in China is also provided to assist in future identification.
1903年的巴普蒂斯塔属（Baptista Distant）首次在中国被记录。本文处理了四个物种，其中1989年的指状巴普蒂斯塔（B. digitata Andersen）和2004年的霍氏巴普蒂斯塔（B. hoedli Zettel）为中国新记录物种，另外两个物种，即弯角巴普蒂斯塔新种（B. curvicornis sp. n.）和钝形巴普蒂斯塔新种（B. obtusa sp. n.），被描述为科学上新发现的物种。提供了雄性和雌性背面习性、雄性前腿、雄性腹部腹板以及雄性生殖器结构的照片，同时配有雄性前胫节细节、雄性阳茎侧叶的线条图、栖息地照片以及所有巴普蒂斯塔物种的分布图。还提供了中国境内所有四个物种的检索表，以协助未来的鉴定。
