This application proposes removal of the homonymy between the family- group names Plutoniinae Bollman, 1893 (centipedes) and Plutoniinae Cockerell, 1893 (slugs), which are respectively derived from the generic names Plutonium Cavanna, 1881 and Plutonia Morelet in Stabile, 1864. As the centipede name PLUTONIINAE Bollman is the senior homonym, it is proposed that the entire generic name Plutonia be used as the stem to form the gastropod subfamily name PLUTONIAINAE Cockerell.

The xystodesmid milliped tribe Sigmocheirini occupies a band along the western slope of the Sierra Nevada Mountains and eastern fringe of the San Joaquin Valley from Placer to Kern counties, California. It is comprised of two genera, Sigmocheir Chamberlin, with three species occurring from Placer to Tulare counties, and the monotypic Ochthocelata gen. n., the sole component, O. adynata sp. n., occurring in northern Kern County. The species of Sigmocheir display a distinctive, trimaculate pigmentation pattern with yellow middorsal and paranotal spots; the coloration of O. adynata is unknown. Sigmocheir calaveras Chamberlin is a senior name for S. dohenyi Chamberlin, the spelling of which was subsequently corrected to danehyi and assigned to the new genus, Tuolumnia, a synonym of Sigmocheir. Sigmocheir furcata sp. n. is proposed for forms from the northern generic range. The southernmost species is S. maculifer (Chamberlin), comb. n., transferred from Harpaphe Cook. The Sigmocheirini are related to the sympatric tribe Xystocheirini; relationships within Sigmocheir are hypothesized as maculifer + (calaveras + furcata).

The new xystocheirine genus Parcipromus is proposed for Xystocheir cooki Causey and two new species from the Sierra Nevada Range; they occur from Kings River Canyon, Fresno County, to the Greenhorn mountains in southern Tulare County. The genus occurs at the highest elevations of any Nearctic xystodesmid taxon, as its species live in or near Giant Sequoia Groves at 6-7,000\&$\#$39;. Characterized in part by a simple, undivided, and curved acropodite, and a prefemoral process on the outer (caudal) side of the prefemur, Parcipromus differs markedly from other tribal components that possess two or more separate acropodal projections and a prefemoral process on the inner (anterior) surface. The species are distinguished primarily by the acropodal configuration, the length of the prefemoral process, and, if present, the size and shape of the latter\&$\#$39;s lateral spine. Descriptions are presented for the new taxa along with diagnostic illustrations and a key to species.

Eoarthropleura, previously known only from the Lower Devonian of Germany, is reported here from the Upper Silurian (P{\v r}\ídol\í) of Shropshire, England, the Upper Devonian (Frasnian) of New York State, USA, and the Lower Devonian (Emsian) of New Brunswick, Canada. The Shropshire form (E. ludfordensis n. sp.) is the earliest representative of the Arthropleurida. The New York species, originally ascribed to a scorpion, Tiphoscorpio, becomes Eoarthropleura hueberi (KJELLESVIG-WAERING, 1986). The New Brunswick Eoarthropleura is too fragmentary for species level distinction. Within the Class Arthropleurida, Eoarthropleura is the type of a family and an order.

Eoarthropleura war bisher nur aus dem deutschen Unterdevon bekannt. Weitere Vorkommen werden hier aus dem Obersilur von Shropshire, England, dem Mitteldevon von New York State, USA, und dem Unterdevon von New Brunswick, Canada, beschrieben. Die englische Art, E. ludfordensis n. sp., ist der bisher alteste Vertreter der Arthropleurida. Die New Yorker Art, von KJELLESVIG-WAERING (1986) als Skorpion Tiphoscorpio hueberi beschrieben, wird zu Eoarthropleura hueberi (KJELLESVIG-WAERING, 1986). Die Stucke von New Brunswick sind zu fragmentarisch f\ür eine artliche Zuordnung. Die Systematik der Klasse Arthropleurida wird diskutiert, wobei Eoarthropleura als Typus einer Familie und Ordnung gilt.
