This thesis is by publication, with research topics based on studies of the biology, intraspecific and interspecific relationships between penicillate millipedes within the families Polyxenidae, Lophoproctidae and Synxenidae in Order Polyxenida (Class Diplopoda, Subclass Penicillata), using traditional taxonomy and morphometry as well as phylogenetic studies.

A new penicillate millipede Lophoturus porchi sp. n. (Lophoproctidae) is described from Caverne de la Vierge, Fran\çois Leguat Giant Tortoise and Cave Reserve, Rodrigues Island, Mauritius. A comparison of the body length, number of sensilla on the gnathochilarial palp, number of linguiform processes and structure of the labral surface as well as genetics based on the 18S and COI genes indicate that this is a new Lophoturus species.

The identification of 5 species from a recent collection of 23 specimens from two areas in Israel is given. Two new species of Polyxenida are recorded, including the first species in the family Synxenidae (Phryssonotus sp.) and the first species from the family Polyxenidae, subfamily Macroxeninae (Chilexenus sp.), from Israel. These species are identified only to genus due to the lack of undamaged adult material. Two species in the family Lophoproctidae are also identified, one previously recorded but not described, is now described as Lophoproctus israelensis sp. nov., and Lophoproctinus chichinii Cond\é, 1951 is recorded from Israel for the first time. The fifth species is identified as possibly a new species in the genus Polyxenus and likely to be synonymous with the specimens identified as Polyxenus lagurus Linnaeus, 1758 in a previous study. This is just the second collection from Israel to be identified and brings the total number of Polyxenida species found in Israel to 8. All 3 families of Polyxenida are represented in this list, together with all 3 subfamilies of the most numerous family, Polyxenidae.

Representatives of 11 genera (Lophoproctus?, Glomeridesmus, Epinannolene, Siphonophora, Siphonotus, Docodesmus, lomus, Lophodesmus?, Psochodesmus, Dasyodontus, and Inodesmus?) are reported from Dominican amber, most of them constituting the first or oldest fossils of their corresponding higher taxa. Extant species of lomus and Inodesmus have not been reported from Hispaniola; a chelodesmid seems more closely related to South American genera than to present-day Caribbean diplopods. Siphonophora hoffmani spec. nov. and S. velezi spec. nov. are described from adults embedded in Dominican amber.

Lophoproctid and synxenid millipede species observed in this study showed clear differences in their
sexual reproduction, including sperm web structure, egg morphology and development compared with species from
Polyxenidae. Male Lophoturus queenslandicus (Lophoproctidae) produce a single spermatophore on a sperm web
without signal threads due to their lack of silk-producing coxal glands. Females of this species lay fewer eggs and differ
in their egg cluster arrangement, which includes nest trichomes for protection. Lophoproctid chorion has a thin
protective membrane and the pupoid has fused papillae covering the entire anterior region and an aperture bordered
by protective papillate sensilla is present at the apex of the pupoid. Lophoproctid millipedes have a comparatively short
intermoult period between stadia. In contrast, male Phryssonotus novaehollandiae (Synxenidae) produce two
spermatophores separated by a large gap on their sperm web, with signal threads that are less obvious. Synxenid chorion
and pupoid stages were unique; the chorion was tough and thick and the pupoid had anterior projections without an
aperture bordered by sensilla, unlike those observed in lophoproctid and polyxenid millipedes. This study extends
knowledge of the reproduction of species from three major millipede families from the Suborder Polyxenida
(Penicillata: Diplopoda). Additionally, the results indicate that the reproductive strategies of Australian lophoproctid
and synxenid species are adapted to their harsh environment.

We describe three new penicillate millipede species from Con Dao Archipelago in southeastern Vietnam: Alloproctoides consonensis n. sp. (Lophoproctidae), Monographis condorensis n. sp. (Polyxenidae), and Unixenis moniqueae n. sp. (Polyxenidae). Comparative morphological and genetic studies based on 18S and COI genes indicate that all three species differ from previously described species.
