Two new species of lithobiid centipedes (Hessebius prospinosa sp. nov. and Lithobius (Ezembius) maqinensis sp. nov.) and the first record of Lamyctes africanus Porath which are all females, suggesting parthenogenesis, are described based on specimens from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Keys for each of the Chinese species of Hessebius, Ezembius and Lamyctes are presented. Phylogenetic analysis using a fragment (613 bp) of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) indicates that (1) Lithobius (Ezembius) maqinensis sp. nov. clades with L. (E.) giganteus Sseliwanoff, and (2) the specimens of Lamyctes africanus Porath from China clade with L. africanus Porath from other countries.
