ABSTRACT Monatractides of China is reviewed with descriptions of two new species, M. macrocorpis Gu & Guo, sp. nov. and M. xiaoxiensis Gu & Guo, sp. nov., and one newly recorded species, M. tuzovskyi Pešić, et al. 2006. Monatractides macrocorpis can be distinguished by its large body, infracapitular bay U-shaped, epimeroglandularia 4 (E4) on the same line with the 4th (male) or 5th (female) pair of acetabula. Monatractides xiaoxiensis can be distinguished by tips of coxae I (Cx-I) with an elongated cuticular extension; gnathosoma dorsal apodeme with a blunt end, ventral apodeme pointed and bent towards dorsum; basal segment of chelicera (bs) curved heavily towards ventrum. A key to species of Monatractides from China is given. The type specimens are deposited in Institute of Entomology, Guizhou University, Guiyang, China (GUGC). http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:93A69E92-91D6-4CC8-9A62-1B6409C1C59A
