The jumping spider genus Gambaquezonia has been considered monotypic and endemic to the Philippine island of Luzon. Here, we describe a new species from the Philippine island of Panay, based on genital characters of a male and female specimen. The new species, Gambaquezonia curioi, is distinguished by the shape and structure of the male embolus and tibial apophysis, and the epigynal sperm duct. We highlight the necessity of further arachnological explorations in the Philippine archipelago.
