It is used to distinguish it from other congeners with a single entire pleuropretergite an intact anterior dorsal plate, which are distributed in Europe and North America. We suggest the Chinese common name as “ 亚洲地蜈蚣 ”.</p><p>Remarks.</p><p>This is the first Strigamia species with a singular undivided pleuropretergite in the ultimate leg-bearing segment recorded in East Asia. Within this genus, this morphological feature has been reported in at least 11 species: S. acuminata (Leach, 1815), S. bidens Wood, 1862; S. bothriopus Wood, 1862; S. cottiana Verhoeff, 1935; S. crassipes (C. L. Koch, 1835), S. crinita (Attems, 1929), S. engadina (Verhoeff, 1935), S. epileptica Wood, 1862; S. exul (Meinert, 1886), S. lutea Matic, 1985; and S. transsilvanica (Verhoeff, 1928) . All these congeners are distributed across Europe and North America, except for S. transsilvanica, which has also been recorded in Japan by Takakuwa (1938, 1940). However, the validity of the Japanese record was challenged by Bonato et al. (2012), who suggested potential misidentification issues.</p><p>The new species is differentiated from its congeners through three principal morphological characters and biogeographical evidence: (1) the number of leg-bearing segments: the new species possesses 41–47 leg-bearing segments, in contrast to S. bidens (Wood 1862; Attems 1929), S. epileptica (Wood 1862; Chamberlin 1954), and S. exul (Meinert 1886; Attems 1929) which all possess&gt; 65 segments; (2) clypeal characteristics: the anterior clypeal region bears just 5 post-antennal setae (Fig. 8 C), differing significantly from S. acuminata (Brolemann 1930: fig. 174; Iorio 2005: fig. 1 C; Bonato et al. 2023: fig. B), S. crassipes (Iorio 2005: fig. 1 A; Bonato et al. 2023: fig. C), and S. transsilvanica (Iorio 2005: fig. 1 B); and (3) forcipular morphology: the tarsungulum displays basally subparallel internal and external margins, gradually converging distally (cf. Bonato et al. 2012), a configuration distinct from that of S. engadina . Additionally, the morphological characteristics of the coxal pores were comparable to those of S. bothriopus (Bonato et al. 2012: fig. 7), with the latter having coxal pores scattered on each coxopleuron. The new species can be distinguished by its geographic distribution from S. crinita, S. lutea, and S. cottiana, which are restricted to European territories distant from East Asia (Bonato et al. 2012).</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>China (Anhui, and Shandong Provinces).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/A9ED74A1D36254A4861C5674BCDFA8E6	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

It is morphologically similar to S. bicolor Shinohara, 1981 and S. tenuiungulata (Takakuwa, 1938), but distinguished from the former by the colouration of the forcipular tarsungulum and the first leg-bearing segment, and the morphological characteristics of coxal pores, and from the latter by the setae density and morphological characteristics of the forcipular tarsungulum. Strigamia tenuiungulata (Takakuwa, 1938) differs by its denser setation and the internal and external margins of the forcipular tarsungulum subparallel to the basal part, gradually converging only along the distal part (Takakuwa 1938). Strigamia bicolor Shinohara, 1981 differs in that it has fewer coxal pores (fewer than 10) and occasional discolouration or whitening of the first pair of legs and forcipular tarsungulum (Shinohara 1981). These features clearly distinguish S. japonica (Verhoeff, 1935) from its congeners. In addition, the coxal pore number and arrangement of this species resemble those of Strigamia nana Bonato, Bortolin, Drago, Orlando, Dányi, 2017 .</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>China (Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, and Guizhou Province); North Korea.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/8CDD0B2C383D5DBFB38DBD042C47477C	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Several larval specimens (8–11 mm body length), accompanied by their parents, were collected from Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, and shared diagnostic characteristics with the Japanese species Strigamia monoporus (Takakuwa, 1938), including a single large coxal pore per coxopleuron and distal antennal segments twice as long as they are wide, exceeding twice the length of the preceding segment. However, a critical morphological distinction exists in the basal denticle of the forcipular tarsungulum in S. monoporus, which is diminutive and positioned distally to the tarsungular base (Takakuwa 1938, 1940), in contrast to the morphology observed in the Chinese material. The holotype of S. monoporus (10 mm total length) had an antennal morphology consistent with its larval traits, suggesting that it may represent an immature stage, rather than a diagnostically informative adult. Given the limited morphological utility of the holotype, the absence of adult specimens for comparison, and the insufficient original description, we propose that S. monoporus should be treated as a nomen dubium.</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>China (Anhui, Fujian, Henan, Jiangsu, Jiangxi and Zhejiang Provinces, Chongqing).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/5D7C003263E450DEAEC7190EE1EDF070	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

We suggest the Chinese common name as “ 斜齿地蜈蚣 ”.</p><p>Remarks.</p><p>This new species differs from all other known species of Strigamia in that it has a basal denticle of the tarsungulum that extends obliquely downward, forming an approximately right angle with the internal margin, and the internal and external margins of the tarsungulum are subparallel along the basal part. While its coxal pore count and arrangement resemble those of S. japonica (Verhoeff, 1935) and S. platydentata (Shinohara, 1981) and its forcipular tarsungulum convergence pattern matches that of S. tenuiungulata (Takakuwa, 1938), they can all be unambiguously distinguished by the morphology of the tarsungular basal denticle. S. alokosternum (Attems, 1927), S. hirsutipes (Attems, 1927), S. pusilla (Sseliwanoff, 1884), S. sacolinensis (Meinert, 1870), S. sibirica (Sseliwanoff, 1881), and S. sulcata (Sseliwanoff, 1881) are poorly described in terms of their forcipular segment. Therefore, it can be distinguished from S. alokosternum (Takakuwa 1938, 1940; Bonato et al. 2012) based on the length-to-width ratio of the ultimate leg-bearing segment of the metasternite. It can be distinguished from S. pusilla (Sseliwanoff 1884; Bonato et al. 2012), S. sibirica (Sseliwanoff 1881, 1884; Bonato et al. 2012) and S. sulcata (Sseliwanoff 1881; Bonato et al. 2012) by the number of leg-bearing segments. The new species can be distinguished from S. sacolinensis (Attems 1929; Bonato et al. 2012) based on the density and arrangement of the setae on the metasternite.</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>China (Jilin Province).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/B95B760DD79D5578B752959ACBD15606	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Ultimate pretarsus a claw; ca. 0.3 (♂), 0.4 (♀) times as long as tarsus.</p><p>Postpedal segments (Fig. 2 H, J). Male: intermediate sternite distinct and exposed; first genital sternite separated from pleurites by distinct sutures; gonopods bi-articulate, with setae; penis conical; anal pores present. Female: intermediate sternite indistinct, medially not exposed; first genital pleurosternite ca. 2.6 times as wide as long, posterior margin slightly concave, uniformly with sparse setae; gonopods lamina bilobate, with sparse setae; anal pores present.</p><p>Remarks.</p><p>Through detailed morphological comparisons of our specimens with published descriptions and illustrations (Verhoeff 1933: fig. 15; Bonato et al. 2012: figs 10, 15), we observed no significant differences in the following characteristics: coxal pore arrangement (one posterior pore distinctly separated from the others), shape of the ultimate sternite, and morphology of the forcipular segment. The ventral pore distribution deviated slightly from the illustrations (Verhoeff 1933: fig. 16) but aligned with the original textual descriptions.</p><p>This species is widely distributed across southeastern mainland Asia, from Central China to Indochina (Bonato et al. 2012). However, a record from Thailand (Bonato et al. 2014) was confirmed as a distinct species, Strigamia inthanoni Bonato, Bortolin, Drago, Orlando, Dányi, 2017, and was therefore removed from its distribution (Bonato et al. 2017). As the distribution of this species in China is mainly concentrated in the southwest and western regions, and it has not been recorded in other regions, the records from Taiwan may require further validation.</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>China (Gansu, Guangxi, Shaanxi, and Sichuan Provinces, Chongqing).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/2487ECC3110F580D82A4EEDA593AE86F	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Tergite 1 wider than metatergite 2; lateral margins converging backward. Metasternites sub-rectangular; without a deeply mid-longitudinal sulcus. Posterior pair of sub-ovoid pore-fields present in all metasternites from 1 to penultimate. Pore-fields present also on all procoxae and metacoxae from 1 to penultimate. Legs 1 smaller than the others; pretarsus claw-like, reaching ca. 1 / 5 of the length of the tarsus.</p><p>Ultimate leg-bearing segment (Fig. 14 H – K). Pretergite and intercalary pleurites separated by distinct sulcus; pretergite ca. 2.3–3.0 (♀), 3.3–3.5 (♂) times as wide as long on exposed part. Metatergite ca. 1.2–1.3 (♀), 1.3 (♂) times as wide as long; shield-shaped. Metasternite sub-trapezoid to sub-cordiform; ca. 1.3 (♂), 1.6 (♀) times as wide as long; lateral margins slightly concave to nearly straight, strongly narrowing backwards; posterior margin ca. 0.2 times as wide as anterior margin; with sparse setae of various sizes. Coxal pores 10–13 (♀), 8–9 (♂) on each coxopleuron; opening nearly congruently; all coxal pores distinctly aggregated close to the lateral margins of the metasternite and some of them covered by that; diameter of the coxal pores similar to that of the respective ducts; male setae slightly denser close to the ventral posterior edge of the coxopleuron, female sparse. Ultimate leg ca. 0.9 times as long as penultimate leg, male distinctly swollen, ventral and lateral sides with very dense setae, female sparse. Ultimate pretarsus a claw; ca. 0.2 (♂), 0.3 (♀) times as long as tarsus.</p><p>Postpedal segments (Fig. 14 H, J). Male: intermediate sternite distinct and exposed; first genital sternite separated from pleurites by distinct sutures; gonopods bi-articulate, with setae; penis conical; anal pores present. Female: intermediate sternite indistinct, medially not exposed; first genital pleurosternite ca. 3.2–4.8 times as wide as long, posterior margin slightly concave, uniformly with sparse setae; gonopods lamina not distinctly bilobate, with sparse setae; anal pores indistinct.</p><p>Etymology.</p><p>Latin: ziyunensis = Ziyun. The specific epithet refers to its type locality Ziyun Miao and Bouyei Autonomous County. We suggest the Chinese common name as “ 紫云地蜈蚣 ”.</p><p>Remarks.</p><p>This new species resembles S. svenhedini (Verhoeff, 1933) in its coxal pore distribution; the coxal pores cluster into a single group on the metasternite of the ultimate leg-bearing segment. However, S. svenhedini (Verhoeff, 1933) has the largest number of posterior coxal pores on each coxopleuron, which are distinctly displaced from all other pores (Verhoeff 1933: fig. 16), allowing it to be distinguished from S. ziyunensis sp. nov.</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>China (Guizhou Province).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/23AAC166C36254D6ACA671F36860A27B	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
