Abstract
Lithobius (Ezembius) anabilineatus sp. n. (Lithobiomorpha: Lithobiidae), from the Guangxi Zhuang Nationality Autonomous Region, Eastern China, is described. Morphologically, it resembles L. (E.) bilineatus Pei et al. 2014 from Guangxi Zhuang Nationality Autonomous Region, China, but can be readily distinguished from the latter by the three large terminal ocelli, Tömösváry’s organ smaller than the adjoining ocelli, terminal claw of the third article of female gonopods simple, both second and third articles of female gonopods with one spine lying dorsally on posterior external margin.
