Two new genera of euophryine jumping spiders in the Laufeia group are established for species from Southeast Asia: Amoenema Yu & Zhang, gen. nov. and Lokina Yu, Maddison & Zhang, gen. nov., with descriptions of 12 new species: Amoenema erhai Yu & Zhang, sp. nov. (♂♀, type species), A. liuae Yu & Zhang, sp. nov. (♂♀), A. zizhongi Yu & Zhang, sp. nov. (♂♀), Lokina blombergi Yu, Maddison & Zhang, sp. nov. (♂♀), L. chiyou Yu & Zhang, sp. nov. (♂♀, type species), L. fuxi Yu & Zhang, sp. nov. (♂♀), L. kubah Yu, Maddison & Zhang, sp. nov. (♂), L. nyuewa Yu & Zhang, sp. nov. (♂♀), L. pixi Yu, Maddison & Zhang, sp. nov. (♂), L. tamasi Yu & Zhang, sp. nov. (♂♀), L. wuyi Yu & Zhang, sp. nov. (♂), L. zhishengi Yu & Zhang, sp. nov. (♂). In addition, three new combinations are proposed: Amoenema robusta (Lei & Peng, 2012) comb. nov. (transferred from Euophrys C. L. Koch, 1834), Lokina eximia (Zhang & Maddison, 2012) comb. nov. (transferred from Laufeia Simon, 1889) and L. tengchongensis (Lei & Peng, 2012) comb. nov. (transferred from Chalcovietnamicus Marusik, 1991).
