The taxonomic records of Chinese perisphaerine cockroaches were scattered in literature, and therefore a dedicated study is desired to update our knowledge. This paper reviews the subfamilial diagnosis and Chinese species, mostly from southwestern China. We provide high-definition habitus photos and drawings, the latter emphasizes the genitalia of both sexes, which are generalized with diagrams, abstracted from specimens examined. A total of 18 species are recorded in four genera, including Perisphaerus, or pill cockroach, the type genus of the subfamily. Two new genera and three new species are proposed: Achatiblatta achates gen. sp. nov., Frumentiforma frumentiformis gen. sp. nov., and Pseudoglomeris montana sp. nov.. Pseudoglomeris has five new junior synonyms: Corydidarum, Trichoblatta, Kurokia, Glomerexis, and Glomeriblatta; the following combinations are thus revived or new: Ps. aerea comb. nov., Ps. angustifolia comb. nov., Ps. beybienkoi comb. nov., Ps. fallax comb. nov., Ps. magnifica comb. rev., Ps. montshadskii comb. nov., Ps. nigra comb. nov., Ps. sculpta comb. nov., Ps. semisulcata comb. rev., Ps. tibetana comb. nov., and Ps. valida moderata comb. nov.. The following species are revalidated and combinations revived: Pe. pygmaeus comb. rev., Ps. dubia comb. sp. rev., and Ps. planiuscla comb. sp. rev.
中国球蠊科蟑螂的分类记录分散在文献中，因此需要进行专门研究以更新我们的认知。本文回顾了亚科的分类诊断及中国的物种，主要来自中国西南部。我们提供了高清的整体照和绘图，后者着重展示了两性的生殖器，这些图是根据所检查的标本概括绘制的示意图。四个属中共记录了18个物种，包括球蠊属（Perisphaerus），即丸蠊，该亚科的模式属。提出了两个新属和三个新物种：Achatiblatta achates 属及种为新发现、Frumentiforma frumentiformis 属及种为新发现、Pseudoglomeris montana 种为新发现。Pseudoglomeris 有五个新的次异名：Corydidarum、Trichoblatta、Kurokia、Glomerexis 和 Glomeriblatta；因此恢复或建立了以下组合：Ps. aerea 新组合、Ps. angustifolia 新组合、Ps. beybienkoi 新组合、Ps. fallax 新组合、Ps. magnifica 恢复组合、Ps. montshadskii 新组合、Ps. nigra 新组合、Ps. sculpta 新组合、Ps. semisulcata 恢复组合、Ps. tibetana 新组合、Ps. valida moderata 新组合。以下物种被重新确认并恢复组合：Pe. pygmaeus 恢复组合、Ps. dubia 恢复组合及种、Ps. planiuscla 恢复组合及种。
