Dima guizhouensis Ruan, Kundrata Qiu sp. nov. and Dima xiaolongi Ruan, Kundrata Qiu sp. nov. are described from Guizhou and Hunan Provinces in China, respectively. Both species are easily distinguishable from most of their congeners by having a strongly convex pronotum and relatively long elytra with carinate interstria VI. The only superficially similar species is D. tianmuensis Qiu Kundrata in Qiu et al. (2018) from Zhejiang Province. Habitus and main diagnostic characters are figured for both new species, and their systematic placement is discussed. The discovery of these species brings the total number of Dima species in China to 13.
贵州迪玛步甲Ruan, Kundrata Qiu新种及小龙迪玛步甲Ruan, Kundrata Qiu新种分别在中国贵州省和湖南省被描述。这两个物种与大多数同属物种很容易区分，其特征为前胸背板强烈隆起，鞘翅相对较长且第VI条间脊具隆线。唯一表面上相似的物种是邱等（2018年）记载的采自浙江省的天目山迪玛步甲。文中给出了这两个新种的形态图及主要鉴别特征，并讨论了它们的系统位置。这些物种的发现使中国迪玛步甲属物种总数达到13种。
