Type material (not examined). Holotype ♀: CHINA, Jiangxi Province: Ji’an City, Anfu County, Yangshimu , Yeniugu ; 27.5264°N, 114.2447°E; elev. 600 m; 24 June 2022; Z.G. Huang et al. leg. ( HNU817 View Materials , in HNU) GoogleMaps . Paratype: 1♀, same data as for holotype ( HNU816 View Materials , in HNU) GoogleMaps .

Diagnosis. The female of Asiopisinus anfu ( Liang, Liu, Yin & Xu, 2025) comb. nov. resembles that of A. cheni sp. nov. (cf. Liang et al. 2025: figs 1D‒F, 2 and Fig. 7 View FIGURES 7 ) by having laterally curved copulatory ducts (CD), but can be recognized by: 1) lateral parts of copulatory ducts significantly thinner and shorter than spermathecae (S) in dorsal view (vs. almost as thick and long as spermathecae); and 2) anterior portions of spermathecae more swollen than posterior portions (vs. anterior portions almost equal to posterior).

Description. See Liang et al. (2025).

Remarks. The species is transferred to Asiopisinus gen. nov. based on its similarity to the type species: e.g. epigynal atrium (A) with septum (Se), and windings of copulatory ducts (CD) shorter than spermathecae (S).

Distribution. China (Jiangxi) ( Fig. 22 View FIGURE 22 ).
