The present study describes a new Lithobiomorpha subgenus, Lithobius (Sinuispineus), and two new species, L. (Sinuispineus) sinuispineus and L. (Sinuispineus) minuticornis from China. The representatives of the new subgenus are characterized by a considerable sexual dimorphism of the ultimate leg pair 15, having the femur and tibia unusually enlarged in males, and the dorsal side of the femur with curved posterior spurs. These features distinguish Lithobius (Sinuispineus) from all other subgenera of . The diagnosis and the main morphological characters of the new subgenus and of the two new species are given for both male and female specimens.
本研究描述了一个新的石蜈蚣亚属，中华刺石蜈蚣亚属（Lithobius (Sinuispineus)），以及来自中国的两个新物种，中华刺石蜈蚣（L. (Sinuispineus) sinuispineus）和小角中华刺石蜈蚣（L. (Sinuispineus) minuticornis）。新亚属的代表物种具有显著的第15对足的两性异形，雄性的股骨和胫节异常增大，且股骨背面有弯曲的后刺。这些特征使中华刺石蜈蚣亚属与石蜈蚣属的所有其他亚属相区分。文中给出了新亚属和两个新物种的雄性和雌性标本的诊断及主要形态特征。
