Une vue d’ensemble inédite des Pénicillates est publiée ici. Elle complète la description des super-familles et familles de Silvestri (1948a) et propose la subdivision de la famille des Polyxenidae en 4 sous-familles : Polyxeninae, Monographinae, Macroxeninae et Hypogexeninae ; les 3 premières caractérisées par la structure du telson, la quatrième, ayant pour type Hypogexenus pusillus Silvestri, 1903, de statut incertain.

Present classification of Diplopoda Penicillata (Myriapoda), with new definitions of taxa

An overview of the classification of Penicillata is presented, based on an unpublished manuscript written by B. Condé some years before his death, updated to take into account recent work on the group. It revises the descriptions of Silvestri’s (1948a) superfamilies and families, and proposes a subdivision of the family Polyxenidae into four sub-families: Polyxeninae Lucas, 1840, Monographinae Condé nov., Macroxeninae Condé nov. and Hypogexeninae Schubart, 1947. The first three subfamilies are characterised by the structure of the telson, while the fourth is of uncertain status. The creation of a family-rank taxon for the succinctly described species H. pusillus Schubart in 1947 appears unwarranted and we therefore reduce Hypogexenidae to the rank of a subfamily, Hypogexeninae, within the Polyxenidae.

Abstract: Hemiscolopendra Kraepelin, 1903, is a monotypic genus. Its sole species, H. marginata (Say, 1821), possibly misidentified in older publications as Scolopendra morsitans L., 1758, and S. pachygnatha Pocock, 1905, occurs from the southern Atlantic Coast of the United States to west Texas, in the east/west dimension, and, north/south, from southern Ohio-Illinois to Chiapas, Mexico. Individuals throughout this area vary through the same limits, proving that they are conspecific. Akymnopellis, n. gen., is erected to accommodate the South American species previously assigned to Hemiscolopendrachilensis (Gervais, 1847), laevigata (Porat, 1876), and platei (Attems, 1903). Two new synonymies are proposed – Otostigma michaelseni Attems, 1903, under A. laevigata, and Hemiscolopendra perdita Chamberlin, 1955, under A. platei.

The millipede Cylindroiulus caeruleocintus (Wood) has been listed as an endangered (EN) species in the Finnish Red Data Book, 2001. Four records have been published up to now from southernmost Finland: a disappeared population in Helsinki, and two populations in Turku and one in Tammisaari. Its occurrence in the Turku area was studied, and nine new localities were found. Two new records from the city of Helsinki and one from the city of Lohja are also presented. The habitats and the status of the populations are discussed. One population is living partly in a natural oak-dominated forest in Turku, the other populations occur in anthropogenic soils. The status of C. caeruleocinctus as an endangered species in Finland is commented.

Puistotuhatjalkaisen esiintyminen Suomessa
Uhanalaiseksi luokiteltu puistotuhatjalkainen (puistokaksoisjalkainen) esiintyy ainakin kymmenessä kohteessa Turussa tai sen välittömässä läheisyydessä. Se on siten osoittautunut Turun seudulla selvästi aikaisemmin tiedettyä runsaammaksi ja yleisemmäksi lajiksi. Lajista on tavattu uusia, runsaita esiintymiä myös Helsingistä ja Lohjalta. Se tunnetaan tällä hetkellä kahdeksasta yhtenäiskoordinaatiston 10 × 10 km ruudusta ja 15 kohteesta. Puistotuhatjalkaisen asema Suomen uhanalaisten lajien luettelossa tuleekin tarkistaa. Tätä varten olisi tarpeen kartoittaa lajin esiintymistä laajemmin koko Etelä-Suomessa, etenkin lehtomaisilla kulttuurialueilla.
Puistotuhatjalkaisen esiintymien suurimmat uhkatekijät ovat toisaalta talojen tai pysäköintialueiden rakentaminen juuri esiintymien kohdalla (kuten Turun esiintymien 1 ja 3 osalta on jo osittain tapahtunut) sekä hieman hoitamattomien puistojen, pensaikkojen ja Aurajoen rantojen mahdolliset siistimistyöt. Ainakin puolet Turun seudun populaatioista näyttää elinvoimaisilta ja runsailta, eikä niiden menestymiselle ole näkyvissä suoranaista uhkaa.

A new genus Diphyonyx is proposed here for a previously unrecognised lineage of geophilid centipedes. It is distinct from other geophilids in its unique combination of morphological characters, including the peculiar shape of the pretarsus of the legs on the anterior part of the trunk. The type species D. conjungens (Verhoeff, 1898), comb. n., is redescribed in detail and its geographical distribution updated (Balkan Peninsula, Anatolia, Crimea). Included in Diphyonyx are also D. sukacevi (Folkmanová, 1956), comb. n., and D. garutti (Folkmanová & Dobroruka, 1960), comb. n., both from southern Russia. D. garutti is raised here to species rank.

In the reclassification proposed below the Pauropoda is divided in two orders: Hexameroceata with one family and Tetramerocerata with eight families. Bagnall´s division in the suborders Ectomorpha and Endomorpha is removed. The Tetramerocerata is divided in three superfamilies: Pauropodoidea with four families (Pauropodidae, Polypauropodidae, Amphipauropodidae and Diplopauropodidae), Brachypauropodoidea with two families (Brachypauropodidae and Hansenauropodidae) and Eurypauropodoidea with two families (Eurypauropodidae and Sphaeropauropodidae). One new family is erected, Amphipauropodidae, and three new genera are erected, Ferepaurpus and Eburnipauropus in Pauropodidae and Borneopauropus in Brachypauropodidae. The following taxa have got new stat.: Decapauropus Remy, Desmopauropus Scheller, Perissopauropus Scheller, Propepauropus Scheller, Donzelotauropus Remy, Nesopauropus Scheller, Diplopauropodidae Scheller, Hansenauropodidae Remy, Antillauropus Remy, Virginopauropus Scheller, Sphaeropauropodidae Verhoeff. A list of incertae sedis, nomina dubia and nomina nuda has been prepared. For each genus the distribution and the number of known species is given. The Pauropoda has now two orders, 9 families, 40 genera and about 780 species.

Madabolus, gen. nov. is described to accommodate M. maximus, sp. nov. (type species) from several localities in western Madagascar. A phylogenetic analysis of 26 spirobolidan taxa, based on morphological characters, places Madabolus, gen. nov. with the Afrotropical genera Pelmatojulus de Saussure, 1860; Pachybolus Cook, 1897; Hadrobolus Cook, 1897 and Epibolus Cook, 1897. The tribe Pachybolini is proposed to include Madabolus, gen. nov. and the four abovementioned genera. Putative autapomorphies of Pachybolini are: a closed incisura lateralis; setae of gnathochilarial lamella lingualis apical; vulva kidney- or crescent-shaped, with valves meeting in a sinuous fissure and crest protruding. Within Pachybolini, Pelmatojulus (West Africa) stands out by virtue of an increased number of apical antennal sensory cones, with great probability an apomorphy. Madabolus, gen. nov. and east African genera of the tribe share another potential synapomorphy, namely, an increased number of setae on the gnathochilarial lamellae linguales. Other Malagasy genera of Pachybolidae do not seem to be related to Afrotropical genera.

The present paper provides a review of the composition, distribution and habitat preferences of the scolopendromorph centipedes of Tunisia. Five (sub-)genera and 8 (sub-)species have hitherto been reported from the country, of which two are of uncertain status. After a study of significant amount of new material collected in the period 2003-2008, 6 species, namely Scolopendra canidens Newport, 1844, S. morsitans Linnaeus, 1758, Cormocephalus gervaisianus (C.L. Koch, 1841), Otostigmus spinicaudus (Newport, 1844), Cryptops punicus Silvestri, 1896 and C. trisulcatus Brölemann, 1902, were found in the country. New illustrations and, where appropriate, brief descriptions of the species are given, along with an identification key for the Tunisian scolopendromorphs. Cryptops anomalans Newport 1844, Scolopendra oraniensis Lucas, 1846 and S. cingulata Latreille, 1829 are excluded from the country’s list since all previous records are most likely based on misidentifications. Cryptops trisulcatus and C. punicus are recorded for the first time from Tunisia and Libya, respectively. The taxonomic position of C. punicus is discussed and the species is transferred from the subgenus Trigonocryptops to Cryptops. Scolopendra morsitans scopoliana is synonymised under S. morsitans. S. canidens, O. spinicaudus and C. punicus are well adapted to arid and semidesert biotopes and have much wider ranges compared to the other three species which are restricted to the northern, more humid parts of the country. S. canidens is the only myriapod in Tunisia found in a pure sandy desert.

The genus Schizomeritus Verhoeff, 1931 is revised and the type species S. phantasma (Verhoeff, 1925) is redescribed. Three new species from Spain, S. ortizi sp. n., S. esgrimidor sp. n. and S. andalusius sp. n. are described and figured. Polydesmus mauriesi Vicente, 1979 is redescribed and included in Schizomeritus. Polydesmus armatus Machado, 1946 is evaluated based on the original description and also included in Schizomeritus. A key to the six species is given.

Craterostigmus tasmanianus Pocock, 1902, is the sole species in the centipede order Craterostigmomorpha and the focus of much phylogenetic research in Chilopoda. Originally named from Tasmania, Craterostigmus from New Zealand was first considered conspecific with Tasmanian samples based on external morphology, though recent anatomical studies have argued for a deep divergence between New Zealand and Tasmanian Craterostigmus, and a high-ranking taxonomic separation has been advocated. Unambiguous diagnostic nucleotide characters in nuclear ribosomal 18S and 28S rRNA genes as well as in the mitochondrial 16S rRNA, together with the significantly smaller size of New Zealand individuals, the arrangement of supernumerary Malpighian tubules, and patterns in leg spinosity, permit distinction of a New Zealand species, Craterostigmus crabilli, sp. nov. In addition, phylogenetic analysis of four markers (the aforementioned markers plus cytochrome c oxidase subunit I) suggests differentiation of C. tasmanianus from the New Zealand specimens. Combination of the nuclear ribosomal genes and mitochondrial 16S rRNA and COI sequences retrieves a geographic pattern within C. crabilli, sp. nov. in which geographic proximity is decoupled from closest affinities, although the 16S rRNA dataset alone shows more geographic structure. The genetic pattern observed, where among species diversity (for both mitochondrial markers) is equivalent to, or greater than, the within species diversity, is not consistent with a recent long-distance dispersal event, and a relictual Gondwanan distribution is the most plausible alternative.

This work is a first attempt to integrate into one list and quantify all the known species of Hispaniolan arthropods. It includes all the terrestrial and surrounding marine arthropod species (plus those of Tardigrada and Onychophora) known to me to be reported for the island of Hispaniola until the end of 2007, as well as 158 species that are reported here as new records for the Dominican Republic and the island. A total of 8,237 valid species (6,833 extant and 1,404 fossils) are listed, of which the largest component are the insects (5,676 extant and 824 fossil species). Preliminarily, 2,521 arthropod species (36.9%) are considered to be endemic or unique to Hispaniola. Also 84 species are recognized as introduced. The bibliography complements the taxonomic information and includes over 4,000 titles. Brief annotations are also given on the history of entomology in Hispaniola.
