Description

In this study, 15 centipede species of the genus Strigamia Gray, 1843 were recorded from the East Asian mainland, including 7 newly discovered species: S. asiatica Jiang & Yu, sp. nov., S. dianguiensis Jiang & Yu, sp. nov., S. laterisetosa Jiang & Yu, sp. nov., S. longiglanda Jiang & Yu, sp. nov., S. obliquidentata Jiang & Yu, sp. nov., S. xizangensis Jiang & Yu, sp. nov. and S. ziyunensis Jiang & Yu, sp. nov. Strigamia monoporus (Takakuwa, 1938) was proposed as a nomen dubium because it was likely derived from immature specimens and lacked sufficient diagnostic information. A key to Strigamia species from the East Asian mainland is provided.
