An adventive female Julidae (Julida), discovered in a moist, grassy depression in the Peninsula de Brunswick south of Punta Arenas, Chile, and assigned to Cylindroiulus Verhoeff, 1894, is the fi rst vouchered milliped from southern Patagonia. The southernmost milliped ever collected in Chile, South America, and the Western Hemisphere, it may also constitute the southernmost in the world as the site is only \~1,176 km (735 mi) northwest of the Antarctic Peninsula. Records are consolidated of the two families, three genera, and fi ve species of this Holarctic order that are known from South America. They are documented from Argentina, Chile, and southern Peru and Brazil; three species are known from the Juan Fernandez Islands.

In comparison to locomotory legs, the last pair of legs in Chilopoda \– the ultimate legs \– is particularly unique as no other legs in centipedes show a comparable functional, morphological, and behavioral diversity. These evolutionary transformed appendages are never or only rarely used for locomotion and can exhibit different morphologies associated with different functions. Sexual dimorphic characteristics suggest that ultimate legs play a pivotal role in intraspecific communication, mate finding and courtship behavior. Thus, centipede ultimate legs provide an excellent opportunity to explore diverse pathways of leg transformations. Ultimate legs in Scutigeromorpha (house centipedes) are extremely elongated and resemble antennae. The diversity, abundance and distribution of sensory structures, their association with elaborated primary processing centers in the nervous system, as well as electrophysiological experiments strongly suggest that these multi-annulated legs function as sensory appendages at the posterior end of the body. In Geophilomorpha (soil centipedes), ultimate legs may be sexually dimorphic and frequently covered with thousands of cuticular structures. However, these hairs do not resemble sensilla, but shafts of glandular structures. Thus, geophilomorph ultimate legs evolved a secretory function of yet unknown relevance. We show that centipede ultimate leg transformations are by no means restricted to external morphology, but that this particular centipede character was subjected to a cascade of adaptations.

The centipede collection in the National Museum in Prague contains type material of 16 taxa (14 species and two subspecies), of which 15 were described by Lud{\v e}k J. Dobroruka and one by Karl W. Verhoeff: Allothereua wilsonae Dobroruka, 1979; Chinobius alenae Dobroruka, 1980; Lithobius corrigendus Dobroruka, 1988; L. creticus Dobroruka, 1977; L. erythrocephalus mohelensis Dobroruka, 1959; L. evae Dobroruka, 1958; L. magurensis Dobroruka, 1971; L. purkynei Dobroruka, 1957; L. tatricus Dobroruka, 1958; L. tatricus monounguis Dobroruka, 1958; Monotarsobius homolaci Dobroruka, 1971; M. krali Dobroruka, 1979; Pachymerium dilottiae Dobroruka, 1976; P. hanzaki Dobroruka, 1976; Scolopendra aztecorum Verhoeff, 1934 and Strigamia olympica Dobroruka, 1977. Of these 16 taxa, five were described from the Czech Republic, three from Slovakia and eight from other countries (Greece, Iraq, Kyrgyzstan, Mexico, Nepal, Russia and Uzbekistan). The eight taxa described from the Czech and Slovak Republics are now considered as junior synonyms but the eight taxa described from the other countries are still valid.
