The South Asian spiroboloid species Xenobolus carnifex (Fabricius, 1775) is redescribed and illustrated in detail. The genus Xenobolus Carl, 1919 is diagnosed and its relationship and subfamily placement within Pachybolidae Cook, 1897 are discussed. The species Xenobolus acuticonus Attems, 1936 is synonymised with X. carnifex based on morphological and DNA barcoding data. Information on the natural history of X. carnifex is provided and its current distribution is mapped.

To facilitate a revision of Otostigmus (Otostigmus) which currently comprises 61 species, the subgenus is here subdivided into nine species groups based on Attems’ (1930a) monograph. The largest, the rugulosus group, is the subject of this paper. In most cases, the type material is redescribed and variation discussed.
The following species are valid: Otostigmus rugulosus Porat, 1876, O. spinosus Porat, 1876, O. astenus (Kohlrausch, 1881), O. punctiventer (Tömösváry, 1885) (lectotype designated), O. olivaceus Attems, 1934, O. noduliger Verhoeff, 1937 (lectotype designated), O. angusticeps schindleri Würmli, 1972, O. martensi Lewis, 1992, and O. beroni Lewis, 2001. O. feae Pocock, 1891, O. fossuliger Verhoeff, 1937 and O. rugulosus striaturatus Verhoeff, 1937 are retained as valid but more data are required to establish their true status.
Reasons for previous confusion between O. rugulosus and O. scaber Porat, 1876 are discussed as are reasons for specimens of O. astenus being identified as O. punctiventer and some O. punctiventer as O. spinosus.
A lectotype is designated for Otostigmus armatus Attems, 1958 which is a junior subjective synonym of O. multidens Haase, 1887. Otostigmus owenii Pocock, 1892, is a junior subjective synonym of O. rugulosus and O. lewisi Song et al., 2005 a junior subjective synonym of O. beroni. Otostigmus rugulosus var. mertoni Ribaut, 1912, O. celebensis Attems, 1934, and O. dammermani Chamberlin, 1944, are nomina dubia.
A key to the species is provided.

As a contribution to a revision of the scolopendromorph centipede subgenus Otostigmus of the genus Otostigmus, the type specimens of 11 species described by R. V. Chamberlin from the Indo-Australian region and in the collection of the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard have been redescribed. Of these 11, six are junior synonyms of other Otostigmus species, one is a junior synonym of Rhysida longipes longipes (Newport, 1845) and one a nomen dubium. Only three, namely, Otostigmus amballae Chamberlin, 1913, Otostigmus proponens Chamberlin, 1920 and Otostigmus pamuanus Chamberlin, 1920 are valid.

Lithobius matulici Verhoeff, 1899 is redescribed based on type material and newly collected specimens. Strandiolus jugoslavicus Hoffer, 1937, described from another cave in the same region in Bosnia and Hercegovina, is presented as a junior subjective synonym of L. matulici (syn. nov.). L. matulici is shown to be most closely related to Lithobius remyi Jawłowski, 1933, type species of the subgenus Thracolithobius Matic, 1962. The completeness of the chitin-lines on the forcipular coxosternite is discussed as a promising character for interspecific differentiation within Lithobiomorpha. Documentation of hitherto unknown semiaquatic behaviour in L. matulici and other cave-dwelling centipede species from Herzegovinian-, Montenegrin- and Pyrenean caves is presented.

The present catalogue lists data from a total of 95 specimens from 22 species of the millipede collection by the Czech scientist Bohumil Němec (1873–1966) housed in the National Museum in Prague. The material was collected at the turn of the 19th and 20th century in the modern-day Czechia and contains syntypes of Craspedosoma rawlinsii simplex Němec, 1896 [= Craspedosoma rawlinsii rawlinsii Leach, 1814, syn. nov.] and Julus (Leucojulus) coerulans Němec, 1896 [= Kryphioiulus occultus (Koch, 1847)]. The problematic of spelling the name rawlinsii turned to be much complicated than previously thought. Thus, only the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature will have to solve it. Until then, the prevailing usage of rawlinsii is to be maintained.
