Abstract: The pantropical millipede species Cylindrodesmus laniger Schubart, 1945 has been found introduced to hothouses in three European capitals, i.e. Paris, Vienna, and Berlin. In addition, there is strong evidence of its presence in the British Isles. These records appear to represent a species new to the European fauna. Furthermore, based on a strongly reduced receptaculum seminis in the vulva of C. laniger in European populations, the species can be reconfirmed as largely, if not always, parthenogenetic.

The genus Cylindrodesmus seems to actually comprise only two unquestioned species, (1) C. hirsutus POCOCK, 1889 (the type species), a pantropical anthropochore with bisexual populations, usually referred to as C. hirsutus, living in various places in the tropics, and parthenogenetic populations, normally referred to as C. laniger SCHUBART, 1944, occurring in numerous places in the tropics as well as in a few European hothouses, and (2) C. villosus POCOCK, 1898, from Rotuma Island, Pacific Ocean. Lectotypes of C. hirsutus, C. villosus as well as of C. palmyrae CHAMBERLIN, 1954, the latter a long-established junior synonym of C. laniger, have been selected, illustrated and discussed. As there are obviously no characters that would allow to distinguish C. laniger from C. hirsutus other than those apparently related to parthenogenesis, e.g. generally smaller body size, normally a bit more strongly falcate/sigmoid gonopods in the residual males, and the vulvae devoid of well-developed receptacula seminis, the following new synonym is proposed: C. hirsutus POCOCK, 1889 = C. laniger SCHUBART, 1944, syn.n. Revision of the types of Inodesmus peduncularis LOOMIS, 1934, from Surinam, also results in its formal synonymy under C. hirsutus, syn.n. It is certainly because of the numerous C. hirsutus populations being thelytokous, more or less devoid of males, that this species, and genus, has a pretty long list of synonymies. In addition, Elatosus CHAMBERLIN, 1945, monobasic, with E. pygmaeus CHAMBERLIN, 1945, from Java, is herewith formally synonymized with Cylindrodesmus, and E. pygmaeus with C. hirsutus, both syn.n.

Abstract: The first formal record of the pantropical millipede, Cylindrodesmus hirsutus Pocock, 1889, is given from Cameroon. The species seems to be restricted to a man-made palm plantation within the capital city of Yaound\é, apparently being represented by a bisexual population. A male is richly illustrated to confirm the identity.

Первая находка пантропической антропохорной многоножки Cylindrodesmus hirsutus Pocock, 1889 в Камеруне (Diplopoda: Polydesmida: Haplodesmidae)
РЕЗЮМЕ: Приведена первая формальная находка пантропической многоножки Cylindrodesmus hirsutus Pocock, 1889 в Камеруне. Вид, вероятно, приурочен к рукотворной пальмовой плантации в столице Яунде, будучи представлен, очевидно, обоеполой популяцией. Даны многочисленные иллюстрации самца для подтверждения видовой принадлежности.
