Simon, 1864 is a relatively large genus of family Thomisidae Sundevall, 1833 and currently includes 124 species distributed worldwide, except for the Polar Regions. However, can be regarded as being poorly represented in China, with only seven species, three of which are endemic.
A new spider species of the genus from Guiyang City in China, is described under the name of J. Zhang, Q. Lu & H. Yu, sp. nov. Detailed descriptions and photographs of the new species are provided. DNA barcodes (a partial fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene, COI) of the species were obtained to confirm matching of the sexes and for future use in molecular studies.
西蒙蛛属（Simon, 1864）是蟹蛛科（Thomisidae Sundevall, 1833）中一个相对较大的属，目前包括124个物种，分布于除极地地区以外的世界各地。然而，在中国其代表性不足，仅有7个物种，其中3个为特有种。
在中国贵阳市发现了西蒙蛛属的一个新蜘蛛物种，被命名为张氏西蒙蛛（Simon zhangi J. Zhang, Q. Lu & H. Yu, sp. nov.）。文中提供了该新物种的详细描述和照片。获得了该物种的DNA条形码（线粒体细胞色素氧化酶亚基I基因COI的部分片段），以确认雌雄个体匹配，并供未来分子研究使用。
