Abstract
Baiyuerius is a newly erected genus of Coelotinae spiders comprising five species distributed in southern China and northern Vietnam. Two additional new species, B. shenzhen sp. nov. (male and female) and B. yuelu sp. nov. (male and female), are described here. Three new combinations are proposed, namely Baiyuerius acroprocessus (Zhang, Zhu & Wang, 2017) comb. nov., Baiyuerius globasus (Wang, Peng & Kim, 1996) comb. nov. and Baiyuerius rugosus (Wang, Peng & Kim, 1996) comb. nov. Descriptions, photographs, and a distribution map of the known and newly proposed species are provided.

Key words: Distribution of new species, morphology, new combination, redescription, taxonomy
