Abstract

The present paper reviews the centipede species of the genus Hessebius Verhoeff, 1941 (Chilopoda: Lithobiomorpha: Lithobiidae) of the Chinese fauna, H. jangtseanus (Verhoeff, 1942), H. longispinipes Ma, Pei & Zhu, 2009 and H. multiforaminis Pei, Ma, Zapparoli & Zhu, sp. nov. H. kosswigi Verhoeff, 1941, from Turkey, is selected by subsequent designation as type species of the genus, which was previously unavailable. Schizotergitius styliferus Loksa, 1978, from Mongolia, is transferred in Hessebius (n. comb.) and its relationships with H. longispinipes are briefly discussed. A comparative table of the diagnostic characters of the Sino–Mongolian species of the genus is given.
