Type material.

Holotype ♂ (IZCAS-Ar42677), China: Tibet: Nyingchi, Medog, from Baibung to Muge, 29.2386°N, 95.1831°E, elevation 1310 m, 21.VIII.2018, Jincheng Liu leg. Paratype 1♂ (IZCAS-Ar42678), same data as holotype.

Diagnosis.

The male of Chilobrachys jinchengi sp. nov. is similar to that C. bicolor ( Pocock 1895), but can be distinguished by the length ratio of the embolus to the bulb, which is almost 2:1 in C. jinchengi sp. nov. and is 1:1 in C. bicolor .
