The dictynid spider genus Devade from China is revised, and two species from Xinjiang are described: D. longa sp. nov. (♂♀) and D. pulla sp. nov. (♂♀). Devade mongolica Esyunin & Marusik, 2001 is recorded from China for the first time, and D. qiemuensis (Hu & Wu, 1989) stat. rev. is revalidated from the synonymy of D. tenella (Tyshchenko, 1865). Males of D. mongolica Esyunin & Marusik, 2001 and D. qiemuensis (Hu & Wu, 1989) are described for the first time. Detailed morphological descriptions, photographs, illustrations of copulatory organs and distribution maps of the four species are provided.
