Abstract

Two new species of the genus Amphinemura Ris from China are described and illustrated, i.e. A. annulata Du & Ji, sp. n. from Zhejiang, Shanxi, Shaanxi and Guizhou Province, and A. lingulata Du & Wang, sp.n. from Shaanxi and Sichuan Province. A. annulata is similar to A. tricintusidens Wang & Zhu inan apical cavity of the epiproct, but the epiproct ventral sclerite and the median paraproct lobe of the two species are different. A. lingulata is related to A. didyma Zhu & Yang inthe similar epiproct, but they differ mostly in paraproct median and outer lobes.
