The lithobiomorph centipede fauna of China is listed here based on literature data. A total of 68 species in 15 genera/subgenera in 2 families, Henicopidae and Lithobiidae, has been recorded from China. Three genera and forty-four species are known only from China, including the monotypic genera Pterygotergum and Hedinobius. The original descriptions of 16 nominal species were based on specimens of single sex only and 13 nominal species of Lithobius have never been allocated to a subgenus. Lithobius (Lithobius) zhui Pei, Ma, Shi, Wu \& Gai, 2011 is moved to subgenus Lithobius (Ezembius). Distribution data for each species is provided here to promote further studies on the Lithobiomorpha fauna of China.

Lithobius (Ezembius) brachyspinipes sp. n. (Lithobiomorpha: Lithobiidae), recently discovered in Yiyang County, Luoyang City, Henan Province, China, is described, is morphologically similar to Lithobius (Ezembius) multispinipes Pei et al, 2016 from Xinjiang Autonomous Region, but is distinguishable by having a different size of the posterior two ocelli, a different morphology of the second article of the female gonopod, and apical claw third article of female gonopods, and legs 14 plectrotaxy. A table of the main morphological characters of Chinese Lithobius (Ezembius) species is presented.

Lithobius (Ezembius) varioporus sp. nov. (Lithobiomorpha, Lithobiidae), recently discovered from Longquanguan Town, Fuping County, Baoding City, Hebei Province, China, is described. Morphologically it resembles to Lithobius (Ezembius) laevidentata Pei, Ma, Hou, Zhu \& Gai, 2015 from the Xinjiang Autonomous Region, but can be easily distinguished from the latter by the T\öm\ösv\áry\’s organ, slightly smaller than the adjoining ocelli, no secondary sexual modifications on male tibia 14 and 15, posterior accessory spine of legs 14 and 15 present and the number of coxal pores varying considerably from three to eight. The main morphological characters of the known Chinese species of the subgenus Ezembius Chamberlin, 1919 based on adult specimens are presented.
