Types. Holotype ♀, CHINA, Yunnan, Fugong County, Yamu river, 27.45910°N, 98.83148°E, alt. 1820m, 26 April 2004, Guang-xu Peng leg. (20040426–2).

Etymology. This epithet derives from the type locality.

Diagnosis. The new species resembles Himalaphantes aduncus sp. nov. in having the similar stretcher and posterior median plate in epigyne (Fig. 138A–C; Fig. 130A–C), but can be distinguished by the spermathecae L-shaped in H. fugongensis sp. nov. (Fig. 138A–C), whereas bean-shaped in Himalaphantes aduncus sp. nov. (Fig. 130A–C). Scape with the lateral lobe present in H. fugongensis sp. nov. (Fig. 138A–C), whereas absent in Himalaphantes aduncus sp. nov. (Fig. 130A–C).
