Abstract：

Sinobelemnites　from　the　Upper　Triassic　(Carnian,　Julian　2)　of　the　Luxi　County,　Yunnan　Province,　Southwest　China　are　described　and　discussed,　with　two　species:　Sinobelemnites　maantangensis　and　Sichuanobelus　luxiensis　sp.　nov.　Sichuanobelus　luxiensis　sp.　nov.　has　a　rostrum　with　a　single　alveolar　groove　along　the　dorsal　side,　with　the　rostral　diameter　increasing　quickly　along　the　rostrum　cavum　region.　The　rough　rostral　surface　of　Sinobelemnites　is　typical　for　the　group.　The　occurrence　of　belemnites　during　the　Carnian,　especially　during　the　Carnian　Pluvial　Episode　(CPE),　indicates　the　CPE　as　a　drive　for　belemnite　flourishment　and　preservation.
