Abstract

The paper reports two new species of the genus Xiphidiopsis Redtenbacher, 1891 from Yunnan, China, i.e. Xiphidiopsis (Dinoxiphidiopsis) bifurcatis sp. nov. and Xiphidiopsis (Xiphidiopsis) spoona sp. nov., and provides characteristic photographs of external morphology. The type specimens are deposited in the Museum of Hebei University, Baoding, P. R. China.
