Jiangxi Province has gradually become a hotspot for research on the family Phrurolithidae Banks, 1892, with 64 new species discovered in the past five years. Notably, over half of the currently known species (5 species) were recorded in this region. However, studies have primarily focused on southern Jiangxi, while northern Jiangxi and remote mountainous areas remain under-surveyed. Many unknown Phrurolithidae species are still likely to be discovered within the Province.
Two new species, Jiang & Liu, and Jiang & Liu, , are described from Jiangxi Province, China. Morphological illustrations, SEM pictures, photos of live specimens and a distribution map are given. Additionally, a new combination, (Fu, Chen & Zhang, 2016) , is proposed. The total number of the known species of from China is raised to 12, including the three species treated in the present paper.
江西省已逐渐成为1892年球蛛科（Phrurolithidae Banks）研究的热点地区，在过去五年中发现了64个新物种。值得注意的是，目前已知的该科物种（5种）中有超过一半是在该地区记录的。然而，研究主要集中在赣南，而赣北和偏远山区仍未得到充分调查。该省内很可能仍有许多未知的球蛛科物种有待发现。
本文描述了采自中国江西省的两个新物种，即蒋氏球蛛（Jiang & Liu）和刘氏球蛛（Jiang & Liu），并给出了形态学插图、扫描电镜照片、活体标本照片及分布图。此外，还提出了一个新组合，即（傅、陈 & 张，2016年）球蛛新组合。中国已知的球蛛科物种总数增至12种，包括本文所研究的3个物种。
