The German Specialized Information Service Biodiversity Research (BIOfid) is an infrastructure that provides scientists with information tailored to the specific needs of biodiversity research and related disciplines (Koch et al. 2017). The service, in particular, promotes digital access to legacy literature and enables the retrieval of research-relevant data using natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning (ML) techniques (Hemati et al. 2016, Abrami et al. 2020, Lücking et al. 2021), and provides a customized semantic search engine (Pachzelt et al. 2021). Thus, historical species records can be found and help to estimate past and present species distributions as well as potential range shifts. Future BIOfid services are planned to specifically address interoperability and linking of research data for rapid integration into national and international databases such as the German Federation for Biological Data (GFBio) and the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF). To this end, for example, BIOfid will contribute to further developing the open-source virtual research environment (VRE) Scratchpads (Smith et al. 2011) and promote its usage in the scientific community. Based on a use case on myriapods, we will test the ability of the two tools mentioned above to accelerate information retrieval and knowledge sharing by professional data mobilization and management methods. Certain myriapod species are known to have been introduced from tropical and subtropical environments to Germany, a country that lies in the north temperate zone. In this regard, we will scour BIOfid´s legacy literature for these species to find spatio-temporal evidence. Moreover, we will explore the usefulness of Myriatrix, a Scratchpads instance specialized on Myriapoda and Onychophora, to collate information on millipede and centipede species introduced to German greenhouses. Data on 35 diplopod and 18 chilopod species in German greenhouses (Decker et al. 2014) have been integrated into Myriatrix using the "Taxon Description" content type provided by Scratchpads. Subsequently, more comprehensive, recent information on the millipede Cylindrodesmus hirsutus Pocock, 1889 (Martínez-Muñoz 2020 onwards) has been incorporated. Finally, we will show how this compiled information can be integrated into GBIF through the Scratchpads' Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A) export.

A review is given of all the literature records of millipedes and centipedes that have been found in German greenhouses together with additional records for 29 such sites. Species lists are given for 46 greenhouses investigated throughout Germany. Thirty-five diplopod and 18 chilopod species were found to occur in greenhouses, of which 15 (3 Chilopoda, 12 Diplopoda) are restricted to this type of habitat. First records for Germany include Anadenobolus monilicornis (Porat, 1876), Epinannolene cf. trinidadensis Chamberlin, 1918, Epinannolene sp., Mesoiulus gridellii Strasser, 1934, Leptogoniulus sorornus (Butler, 1876), Rhinotus purpureus (Pocock, 1894), Cryptops doriae Pocock, 1891, Lamyctes coeculus (Brölemann, 1889) and Tygarrup javanicus (Attems, 1907). The millipedes Oxidus gracilis (C. L. Koch, 1847) and Amphitomeus attemsi (Schubart, 1934) and the centipedes Lithobius forficatus (Linnaeus, 1758) and Cryptops hortensis (Donovan, 1810) are the species most frequently found in greenhouses.

The 680 bp fragment of the COI gene was employed for DNA barcodes of the millipede genus Tylopus in Vietnam. A total of 22 samples representing for 14 morphological Tylopus species were analyzed. The K2P genetic divergence between Tylopus species ranges from 12.2% to 18.9% with a mean of 15 ± 1%. The intraspecific divergences are slightly different between species, from 3% to 5%. The AGBD analysis and phylogenetic trees also support 14 morphological species. It is also suggested to have more COI sequences of more species for better barcode reference library and better molecular species identification.

Millipedes are widely distributed in Saudi Arabia but they were not studied before. In Taif governorate, two species were found that are similar morphologically, which resulted in incorrect identification of these species. Therefore, this work aimed to combine morphological identification with genetic analysis. Specimens were separated morphologically into two species Archispirostreptus syriacus and A. tumuliporus. The first species was recorded in Arruddaf, Maysaan, Thaqif, Bani Saad and Maysaan, the second occurs in Alshafa and Maysaan. The phylogenetic tree inferred from cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) sequences separated samples that were identified as A. tumuliporus from those identified as A. syriacus. Also, a dendrogram based on ISSR-PCR showed these two species in separate clusters.

Periodical cicadas are the only confirmed periodical animals with long life cycles. In Japan, however, 8-year periodicity had been suggested in a species of train millipedes that had frequently obstructed trains in the central mountainous region of Honshu, Japan. This species was identified as Parafontaria laminata armigera Verhoeff (Diplopoda: Xystodesmidae), which is endemic to Japan. We finally confirmed the 8-year periodicity of this millipede using detailed surveys of life histories over 8 years. Seven broods were recognized, with almost no overlaps in their distributions. We also report the historical outbreaks and train obstructions of this millipede during 1920–2016. This is the first confirmed case of periodical non-insect arthropods.

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.

Abstract: Forest clearance, especially in the tropics, leads to habitat loss for many organisms including litter-dwelling arthropods. Among other invertebrates, millipedes (Diplopoda) provide important ecosystem services like decomposition and nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems. Despite their importance, little is known about litter inverte-brates' response to tropical forest degradation and their role in reforestation. The present article should rather be regarded as a review of millipedes' occurrence in tropical forests with a pilot study from Madagascar, because the sample size is small and results need to be confirmed. This pilot study investigated the relationship between millipedes and vegetation characteristics in the eastern rainforests of Madagascar, in the region of Andasibe, parts of which are undergoing reforestation.

Vegetation characteristics were measured in ten different forests encompassing different types: remnant rainforest, secondary forest, old Eucalyptus plantations, recently enriched with indigenous tree species, and degraded sites. Millipede species were searched by hand, identified and their occurrence in relation to the environmental characteristics was described. Vegetation characteristics differed between forest types. Old Eucalyptus plantations, secondary forest, and primary rainforest were associated with higher litter depth and more native millipede species than degraded sites and forests afforested with native tree species since 2007. Non-native millipedes occurred in all vegetation formations except the primary rainforest site and did not show any relationship with vegetation characteristics. In contrast, native milli-pedes' occurrence was related to conditions associated with mature forest, such as high litter depth and high foliage cover. Logistic regression revealed a threshold of litter depth above which native millipedes are likely to occur. The results indicate that native milli-pedes are affected by forest degradation and are incompletely restored even when the afforested forest might approach the original state. Special care should be taken during reforestation efforts, as non-native soil arthropods can be introduced, completely replacing the indigenous biota.

Resumé: Les conséquences de la déforestation globale sont multiples. Pour la plupart des organismes, la déforestation est la cause principale de la destruction des habitats. Les arthropodes qui vivent sur le sol forestier ou dans le feuillage sont ainsi menacés, surtout dans les forêts tropicales. Ces organismes sont pourtant indispensables au maintien de la résilience de la forêt. Dans l’écosystème forestier, les millepattes et autres arthropodes sont très importants pour la mise à disposition de différents services écosystémiques, par exemple pour leur rôle dans le cycle des éléments nutritifs, la formation des sols et la décomposition. Malgré leur importance, peu d’informations sont disponibles sur la réaction des invertébrés suite à la dégradation des forêts et leur rôle dans la reforestation.

Cette étude tient surtout lieu de révision de l’occurrence des millepattes dans les forêts tropicales avec une étude pilote menée à Madagascar, dans la mesure où l'échantillonnage est réduit et que les résultats restent partiels. Cette étude pilote analyse les relations entre les millepattes et les caractéristiques végétales dans les forêts de l’Est de Madagascar, dans la région d’Andasibe. Ces forêts sont très diverses et dix types de forêt ont été considérés, à savoir une forêt récemment dégradée et une forêt dégradée, une forêt dégradée et reboisée avec des espèces arborées indigènes en 2007, 2012 ou 2015, des plantations d’Eucalyptus abandonnées depuis 1930 ou 1909, deux forêts secondaires, une forêt primaire. Dans ces différents types de forêt, les caractéristiques de la végétation ont été enregistrées et des millepattes ont été récoltés à la main. Les espèces de millepattes ont été identifiées et leur occurrence ont été analysées par rapport aux caractéristiques de la végétation. Les vieilles plantations d’Eucalyptus et les forêts secondaire et primaire étaient caractérisées par une couche plus épaisse de feuilles et davantage d’espèces de millepattes indigènes par rapport aux forêts dégradée et replantée. Les espèces allogènes étaient présentes dans tous les types de forêt à l’exception de la forêt primaire. La présence de ces espèces n’était pas liée aux caractéristiques de la végétation. En revanche, l’occurrence des espèces indigènes était associée à des conditions qui sont caractéristiques des forêts matures, par exemple une couche de feuilles épaisse et une couverture foliaire dense. L’analyse de régression logistique a révélé une valeur seuil pour la hauteur de la couche de feuilles mortes. Au-delà de ce seuil, il est probable que les millepattes indigènes soient présents. L’étude a montré que les millepattes indigènes sont impactés par la déforestation et qu’ils ne sont pas facilement restaurés même si la restauration semble permettre à la forêt de se rapprocher de son état initial.

This paper presents a description of a new monotypic genus of the family Anthroleucosomatidae – Cornogonopus pavicevici gen. nov., sp. nov. – from a cave in eastern Serbia. This new genus is the tenth of the “Bulgarosoma” complex of genera. The new species is illustrated with micrographs, SEM photographs, drawings, as well as in situ photographs. Further, an identification key to all 10 genera of this complex is provided and the structure of the posterior and anterior gonopods is briefly discussed. The geographical distribution of all genera is presented, with a distribution map attached.

In this paper we revise the chordeumatidan genus Haasea Verhoeff, 1895 for the first time and describe two new species viz., H. gruberi sp. nov. and H. makarovi sp. nov. discovered in Austria and Serbia, respectively. A new terminology is proposed to standardize the description of the gonopod structures in the genus. Type material obtained from several institutions was examined and documented herein, whereby lectotypes are designated. We clarified the taxonomic status of a few taxa and consider the species H. norica (Verhoeff, 1913) and H. guidononveilleri Makarov, 2008 as a junior subjective synonyms of H. cyanopida (Attems, 1903) and H. vidinensis (Strasser, 1973a), respectively. The following subspecies or varieties, viz., Orobainosoma filicis ossiacum Verhoeff, 1939b, Orobainosoma flavescens vornatscheri Verhoeff, 1935, Orobainosoma hungaricum orientale Tabacaru, 1965, and Orobainosoma inflatum var. aspidiorum Verhoeff, 1929 are here regarded as junior subjective synonyms of their nominal taxa. The taxonomic relationships within the genus Haasea are discussed and an identification key to its 17 species is presented, based on number of body segments and gonopod structures.

                Maps showing species occurences based on historical and recent records are presented to understand their respective geographic ranges. H. flavescens is now deleted from the list of species in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovenia and Italy as these records were based on misidentified material. H. inflata is deleted from the fauna of Bosnia and Herzegovina, whereas H. hungarica is newly recorded from Austria, Serbia and Slovenia.

The genus Oxidus Cook, 1911 is revised to contain five species, O. avia (Verhoeff, 1937), O. gigas (Attems, 1953), O. gracilis (C.L. Koch, 1847), O. riukiaria (Verhoeff, 1940), and “species inquirenda” O. obtusus (Takakuwa, 1942). A cosmopolitan species, O. gracilis, is widely found in temperate and sub-tropical regions over the world, but other species have limited distribution in restricted regions, e.g., O. gigas in northern Vietnam, O. riukiaria and O. avia in the Ryukyu Islands (Japan). Four species, O. gracilis, O. riukiaria, O. avia and O. gigas, are confirmed as different from each other in gonopod characters, coloration and body size. The status of the last species, O. obtusus, is still doubtful and requires examination of further fresh material. The phylogenetic relationships among species of Oxidus is analyzed using two fragments of the mitochondrial genes COI (Cytochrome c Oxidase subunit I) and 16S rRNA. Three species of Oxidus are clearly separated from each other; O. gigas and O. gracilis form a monophyletic sister group with O. riukiaria. The genus Oxidus is also monophyletic and more closely related to the genus Tylopus Jeekel, 1968 than to the genera Sellanucheza Enghoff, Golovatch & Nguyen, 2004 or Kronopolites Attems, 1914. In addition, an identification key to species of Oxidus is provided.

Twelve new genera and 37 new species of Spirobolida are described: Corallobolus cruentus gen. n., sp. n., Sanguinobolus maculosus gen. n., sp. n., Colossobolus semicyclus gen. n., sp. n., C. oblongopedus sp. n., C. giganteus sp. n., C. minor sp. n., C. litoralis sp. n., C. aculeatus sp. n., C. pseudoaculeatus sp. n., Zehntnerobolus gen. n., Flagellobolus pauliani gen. n., sp. n., Riotintobolus mandenensis gen. n., sp. n., R. minutus sp. n., R. aridus sp. n., R. anomalus sp. n., Pseudocentrobolus aureus gen. n., sp. n., P. vohibasiensis sp. n., Granitobolus endemicus gen. n., sp. n., G. andohahelensis sp. n., Caprobolus andringitra gen. n., sp. n., Alluviobolus laticlavius gen. n., sp. n., A. tsimelahy sp. n., A. antanosy sp. n., Ostinobolus rufus gen. n., sp. n., O. stellaris sp. n., O. montanus sp. n., O. subterraneus sp. n., and Hylekobolus brachiosauroides gen. n., sp. n., H. rufus sp. n., H. griseus sp. n., H. albicollaris sp. n., H. goodmani sp. n., H. montanus sp. n., H. analavelona sp. n., H. latifrons sp. n., H. andasibensis sp. n., H. marojejy sp. n., H. anjanaharibe sp. n. All genera and species are endemic to Madagascar. Hylekobolus belongs to the family Spirobolellidae, while all other Malagasy genera of Spirobolida belong to the Pachybolidae. Among them, only Zehntnerobolus gen. n. is based on a previously described species: Spirobolus rubripes de Saussure & Zehntner, 1897, whereas the remaining 11 new genera altogether contain (a total of) 37 new species. Three of the new genera are large-bodied “fire millipedes” (>100 mm long) with striking red/black colour patterns. The new discoveries increase the number of endemic Malagasy genera of Spirobolida more than fivefold (from 3 to 15). The number of endemic species recorded from Madagascar has more than doubled (to 61). Body length of the new species varies greatly (between 23 and 170 mm). Keys to all Malagasy Spirobolida families, genera, as well as the newly described species, are provided. Four species, Rhinocricus collaris de Saussure & Zehntner, 1897, Spirobolus grandidieri de Saussure & Zehntner, 1897, Spirobolus olympiaceus Karsch, 1881, and Spirobolus sikorae de Saussure & Zehntner, 1897 are only known from females and are listed as nomina dubia. Some genera occur in the dry or spiny forest as well as in the rainforest ecosystem; species, however, are restricted to a single habitat type. In the rainforest, up to six different genera were collected in the same individual forest. Numerous genera are adapted to a special ecological niche. A high proportion of species are microendemic, often to some tiny, highly endangered forests. Of special conservation concern are the species which occur only in Analavelona, Ambatotsirongorongo, the subhumid, globally unique littoral forest of Petriky and the littoral rainforests of Mandena and Sainte Luce.

First ocurence in France of a cave-dwelling millipede of the genus <i>Mesoiulus</i> Berlese, 1886 (Myriapoda: Diplopoda: Julida: Julidae)

Abstract: Millipedes of the genus Mesoiulus Berlese, which is represented by several species in the Spanish Basque Country, has been discovered for the first time in France in caves of the department Pyrénées-Atlantiques. The species Mesoiulus cavernarum (Verhoeff, 1938) has been sampled in two localities very close to the Franco-Spanish border in the municipalities of Banca and Saint-Etienne-de-Baïgarry. This work is part of the research performed on the biodiversity and distribution of millipede species listed in the checklist and atlases of the French Myriapod Survey (INAMYFRA Project). Original data provided from the French Basque Country give particularly interesting results regarding the cave troglophiles and troglobionts of this area, increasing the number of millipedes known in metropolitain France up to 305 species.

The chordeumatidan fauna of the Iberian Peninsula is far from being well known, but recent efforts are improving that knowledge. Samplings carried out in the Milieu Souterrain Superficiel (also known as the Mesovoid Shallow Substratum) on several screes of the Sierra de Guadarrama National Park (central Spain) have led to the discovery of a new species of chordeumatidan millipede. This new species belongs to the family Haplobainosomatidae, which is mainly known from the northern Iberian Peninsula, and thus this is the first record of the family in central Spain. However, the extremely simple gonopods of this species are so different from all other known species of the family that it must be placed in a new genus. In this work, a complete description of the species, named as Guadarramasoma ramosae gen. & sp. nov., with a detailed iconography based on scanning electron microscopy images is provided together with a distribution map and a brief discussion of the implications of this new finding.

Millipede diversity in tropical regions, and in Mexico in particular, is still mostly unknown. A modest but recurrent source of new Mexican species is the colonization of exotic species, due to human activity. The invasive species Cylindrodesmus hirsutus Pocock, 1889 has spread from its area of origin in Indonesia or Melanesia and become a virtually pantropical species. Although long known from South and Central America, reports from the Caribbean are sparse and limited to some eastern islands and southern Central America. On 9 March 2016, two adult specimens were found on Cozumel Island, Quintana Roo, in an area of medium semideciduous tropical forest. This paper comprises the first record of this species from Mexico and the northern Caribbean. Given the intense commercial activity in the region, the presence of more populations both in Cozumel Island and in the mainland coast is highly probable.
