ABSTRACT. The type collection of lithobiomorph centipedes of the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, St Petersburg, Russia, contains seven species. Lectotypes are designated for six of them: Lithobius brandtii Sseliwanoff, 1881, L. czekanowskii Sseliwanoff, 1881, L. giganteus Sseliwanoff, 1881, L. potanini Sseliwanoff, 1881, L. sibiricus Gerstfeldt, 1859, and L. (Monotarsobius) porathi Sseliwanoff, 1881. The name L. czekanowskii Sseliwanoff, 1881 is revalidated from the synonymy with L. princeps Stuxberg, 1876. Habitus photos of the type specimens and corresponding labels are presented for the first time.
