R\ésum\é: Niphatrogleuma wildbergeri n. g., n. sp. est un remarquable diplopode troglobie qui vient d\’\être d\écouvert dans une grotte d\’altitude (2455 m) des Alpes calcaires suisses (Karst de Rawyl). Outre ses caract\ères externes de troglobie (d\épigmentation totale, allongement des appendices), ses caract\ères gonopodiaux pl\ésiomorphiques t\émoignent de sa nature r\élictuelle ancienne. Cette forme appartient \à un genre nouveau que l\’on peut classer dans la cohorte d\éclinante (chorologie dispers\ée, nombreux cavernicoles et endog\és) des Cleidogonoidea, qui peuplent l\’Am\érique du Nord, l\’Europe, l\’Asie, et qui viennent d\’\être trouv\és aussi en Australie.

Abstract: A remarkable new genus of troglobitic milliped was gathered in a cave of the alpin zone (altitude 2455 m) concealed under the snow ten months per year. Besides its external troglobitic characters (complete depigmentation, elongation of legs and antenna), its plesiomorphic gonopodial characters bear witness to an old relictual form. This new genus can be classified among the declining group Cleidogonoidea (scattered chorology, numerous endogeous and cavernicolous forms), present in North America, Europa, Asia and even Australia.

A cave-dwelling population of Pauropus furcifer Silvestri (Pauropodidae, Pauropoda) has been found in the Zlotska Pecina Cave, near Bor, East Serbia, Yugoslavia. Some morphological traits of the specimens studied may demonstrate adaptations of this population for life underground. Additionally, some taxonomical and biogeographical features of this pauropod species have been discussed in view of the evolution of the underground karst relief in the Balkan Peninsula.

Johann Carl described 390 species or subspecies of millipedes during his long career at the Mus\éum d\&$\#$39;histoire naturelle de Gen\ève, studying specimens collected on his own expeditions and on those of other, mainly Swiss, naturalists. The type specimens deposited in Geneva are enumerated, and the type specimens that could be located in other collections in other museums are reported. Lectotypes are designated for 17 species: Brachyspirobolus aequatorialis (Carl, 1909), Carlopeltis alatus (Carl, 1914), Mastigorhacus alatus (Carl, 1912), Salpidobolus annulipes (Carl, 1912), Erythrhacus arietis (Carl, 1912), Argentocricus bernardinensis (Carl, 1918), Trigoniulus bitaeniatus Carl, 1912, Desmocricus conjunctus Carl, 1918, Polylepis elberti Carl, 1912, Trigoniulus incommodus Carl, 1912, Stenobolus insularis Carl, 1918, Salpidobolus lateralis (Carl, 1912), Dinematocricus lombokensis (Carl, 1912), Prepodesmus longipes (Carl, 1913), Arostrophus mertoni (Carl, 1912), Salpidobolus moenensis (Carl, 1912) and Eucarlia velox (Carl, 1912). Polydesmus carli nom. nov. is introduced as a replacement name for Polydesmus japonicus Carl, 1902, a junior homonym of Polydesmus japonicus Peters, 1864. Odontopyge johanncarli nom. nov. is introduced as a replacement name for Odontopyge fasciata Carl, 1905, a junior homonym of Odontopyge fasciata Attems, 1896.

Syrioiulus lohmanderi sp. nov. is described from material collected in Gilan Province, northwestern Iran. The new species is morphologically most similar to S. astrabadensis (Lohmander, 1932a) and S. persicus (Golovatch, 1983), also known only from the northern parts of Iran. A key to the species of Syrioiulus Verhoeff, 1914 recorded from this country is compiled, and a checklist of all species presently assigned to the genus is given. Syrioiulus adsharicus (Lohmander, 1936) and S. cappadocius (Lohmander, 1939) are transferred from Amblyiulus Silvestri, 1896. The taxonomic problems within Syrioiulus and related genera are briefly discussed.

Diplopoda are poorly studied in many regions. The last comprehensive work on the millipede fauna of Switzerland was published in 1993 and listed 124 outdoor-living species. Recent sampling efforts have resulted in the discovery of six millipede species of European origin that were not previously known to occur in Switzerland: Cylindroiulus britannicus (Verhoeff, 1891), C. salicivorus\ Verhoeff, 1908, C. vulnerarius (Berlese, 1888), Heteroiulus intermedius (Br\ölemann, 1892), Anamastigona pulchella (Silvestri, 1894) and Macrosternodesmus palicola\ Br\ölemann, 1908. None of them is currently invasive in Switzerland, but some are rapidly expanding across Europe and other regions of the world. A species which was previously only known from northern Italy, H. intermedius, was found in a forest close to Bellinzona. It is likely a native Swiss species which has previously been overlooked. The other five species were collected in human-made habitats in the city of Basel and its surroundings, suggesting human-caused introduction. Two species, C. britannicus and M. palicola, likely have an Atlantic origin, while the three remaining species, C. salicivorus, C. vulnerarius and A. pulchella, are originally from Italy. The biogeography of these six species is discussed, and photographs of specimens of each species and their gonopods are presented.
