Abstract:

Two new species of Chilopoda from Yunnan Province, China, are described as new: Tygarrup daliensis sp. nov. (Geophilomorpha, Mecistocephalidae) and Australobius cangshanensis sp. nov. (Lithobiomorpha, Lithobiidae). Tygarrup daliensis sp. nov. differs from other Tygarrup species by its each side of clypeal plagula with up to 15 setae, arranged in three irregular rows; labral posterior ala rough, with about 10 longitudinal slanting stripes near to mid-piece tooth; mandible with 9 pectinate dentate lamellae, 1st mandibular pectinate lamella bearing 6 teeth; each coxopleuron of last leg-bearing segments with about 50 pores of various size. Australobius cangshanensis sp. nov. is distinguished from congeners by a row of about 60 short setae transversely on each posterior part of 6th and 7th sternites; forcipular coxosternite with 7–10 coxosternal teeth, and porodonts between 5th and 6th or between 4th and 5th innermost teeth.
