This study aimed to classified some species of Chilopoda which is the first record in Iraq. The samples collected from April 2018 to March 2019, in some areas of central of Iraq, which are: Baghdad, Anbar, Babylon, Diyala and Qadisiyah. We found nine species from 183 numbers of samples. The species we recorded for a first time in Iraq are: Scolopendra amazonica, S. afer, Cormocephalus nigrificatus, Cryptops anomalans, Geophilus flavus, Haplophilus souletinus, Lithobius microps, Lamyctes emarginatus and Scutigera coleoptrata. The species were supported by photos, then the samples where stored in Iraq Natural History Research center and Museum.

This study included a first record of two species of Millipeds Polydesmus denticulatus C. L. Kock, 1847, order: Polydesmida Leach, 1815, and Choneiulus palmatus (Newec, 1895), order: Julida Brandt, 1833, in Iraq-Baghdad-Adhamiya from the period April to July 2019.

The family Polydesmidae is represented in the Caucasus by two genera and 11 species: Polydesmus abchasius Attems, 1898, P. lignaui Lohmander, 1936, P. muralewiczi Lohmander, 1936 and P. mediterraneus Daday, 1889 (all confined to the NW and W Caucasus, but of which only the former three are endemic to the region, whereas the latter species is an introduction), as well as Brachydesmus assimilis Lohmander, 1936 (endemic to most of the region, except Hyrcania), B. pigmentatus Attems, 1951 (= B. pereliae Golovatch, 1976, syn. n.) (subendemic to Hyrcania), B. superus Latzel, 1884 (a cosmopolitan introduction), B. furcatus Lohmander, 1936 (= B. furcatus exiguus Strasser, 1970, syn. n.)

(a highly polymorphous and widespread species, apparently in a stage of active speciation, subendemic to the entire region), B. kvavadzei sp. n., from Ajaria, Georgia, and B. simplex sp. n., from Abkhazia and Sochi, Krasnodar Province, Russia. All known Caucasian species of Polydesmidae are described in due detail, abundantly illustrated and keyed, and their distributions mapped.

The genus Schizomeritus Verhoeff, 1931 is revised and the type species S. phantasma (Verhoeff, 1925) is redescribed. Three new species from Spain, S. ortizi sp. n., S. esgrimidor sp. n. and S. andalusius sp. n. are described and figured. Polydesmus mauriesi Vicente, 1979 is redescribed and included in Schizomeritus. Polydesmus armatus Machado, 1946 is evaluated based on the original description and also included in Schizomeritus. A key to the six species is given.

In North America west of the Continental Divide, the milliped family Polydesmidae consists of six genera and 15 species, and occupies eight disjunct areas. Retrorsia, n. gen., is proposed for two new \“micro-polydesmid\” species (R. leonardi, the type species, and R. benedictae) in western Oregon and Washington, primarily in the lower Columbia River Valley. It is most closely related to Utadesmus Chamberlin and Hoffman, 1950, in Utah and New Mexico, and is characterized primarily by a retrorse gonopodal tibiotarsus that curves dorsad and counters the ventral curvature of the telopodal stem. New records are presented for the coastal species of Bidentogon Buckett and Gardner, 1968, occurring from Mendocino to Santa Cruz counties, California, and encompassing the area around San Francisco Bay. The oldest available name for this species is californicus (Chamberlin, 1918), whose type locality is Stanford, Santa Clara County. This name has been misapplied to the species occurring in Sacramento County, herein named B. expansus, n. sp., and B. helferorum Buckett and Gardner, 1968, is placed in synonymy under B. californicus.
