Most estimates of litter decomposition rates do not account well for the effects of soil macrofauna, and so may not accurately represent decomposition in ecosystems in which litter-transforming soil fauna are abundant. In coastal rainforests of British Columbia, Canada, millipedes are the dominant macrofauna and consume a substantial proportion of annual leaf litterfall, most of which is egested as faecal pellets. Little is known about the fate of millipede faecal pellets, which hinders accurate estimation of rates of litter decomposition in these ecosystems. We assessed the influence of feeding by the millipede (Harpaphe haydeniana) on decomposition of broadleaf (maple) and needle (Douglas-fir) litter by comparing rates of CO2 release during 56-day laboratory incubation from litter which had been ingested by millipedes and transformed into faecal pellets with that from unconsumed leaf litter. Changes in litter microbial communities as a consequence of millipede ingestion were assessed by comparing the PLFA profiles of uningested litter and faeces during incubation.Rates of CO2 release from litter and faeces were similar. CO2 release was greater in maple litter than Douglas-fir litter, and this difference persisted in faeces arising from the ingested litter. Maple litter had higher bacterial abundance and was dominated by Gram-negative bacteria; Douglas-fir litter was dominated by Gram-positive bacteria. Differences in bacterial abundances on the two litters were retained through millipede gut passage, but abundance of Gram-negative bacteria declined with gut passage of maple leaves, such that microbial communities were more similar in the two types of faeces. CO2 release was stimulated by grinding of litter and of faeces, indicating that enclosure of millipede faeces within pellets is partially responsible for the slow decomposition of this material. Similar decomposition rates of faeces and undigested litter indicate that effects of litter-transforming fauna such as millipedes on decomposition rates can be adequately accounted for in models by including estimates of the mass of litter assimilated. \© 2012.

Euryuridae Pocock 1909 and Eurymerodesmidae Causey 1951, both endemic to the eastern/central United States (US), are incorporated into Xystodesmidae Cook 1895 and reduced to subfamilies and (sub)tribes n. stats. Euryurina and Melaphina Brolemann 1916, n. stats., are sister-taxa that differ primarily in epiproctal configurations and comprise Euryurini; sister-taxa Eurymerodesmina and Nannariina Hoffman 1964, n. stats., the latter transferred from Xystodesminae, comprise Eurymerodesmini, n. stat., in which plesiomorphic forms exhibit sublinear, \"stick-like,\" and subapically curved/bent gonopodal acropodites with moderately-long to long hairs, often with distal tufts, on their \“inner\” surfaces. Additional transferrals include Wamokia Chamberlin from the xystodesmine tribe Xystocheirini to Xystodesmini (= Harpaphini), and Macellolophus Attems, from Xystodesmidae to Chelodesmidae. Except for Chonaphini, the term, \"prefemoral process,\" has traditionally been assigned to the secondary and shorter telopodital projection regardless of its position, origin, or configuration. Homology of these different structures has never been demonstrated and requires investigation, but the multitude of differences suggests that they are not such and warrant different names, for example \"femoral process,\" for the similarly positioned branches in Devillea Br\ölemann and Rhysodesmus Cook (Xystodesminae: Devilleini, Rhysodesmini). The latter tribe may be polyphyletic, and new tribes may be required for components with acicular \"prefemoral processes\" (Boraria and Cherokia, both by Chamberlin, Gyalostethus and Erdelyia, both by Hoffman, and Pleuroloma Rafinesque) and the southeastern US genera with small-bodied species (Caralinda Hoffman and Gonoessa, Parvulodesmus, and Lourdesia, all by Shelley). Taxonomic value is accorded the \"prefemoral extension/elongation,\" which is absent from Eurymerodesmina; complete, encircles the acropodite, and extends for \~1/3 to 1/2 of the latter\&$\#$39;s lengths in Euryurini; and incomplete and extends for \~1/4 to 1/3 of the \"outer\" acropodital surfaces in Nannariina and xystodesmine tribes. Other newly recognized taxonomic characters include the \"inner\" and \"outer\" acropodital surfaces/margins, the position on the acropodital stem of the \"distal curve/bend,\" and the length of the \"distal zone.\" Rhysodesmus and Sigmoria (Rudiloria) t. trimaculata (Wood) (Xystodesminae: Rhysodesmini, Apheloriini) are recorded from, respectively, Chihuahua, Mexico, and Qu\ébec, Canada, as are Xystodesmidae/-inae and, provisionally, Chonaphini, Montaphe Chamberlin, and M. elrodi (Chamberlin), the only plausible taxa for an unidentifiable juvenile from near Yahk and only 2.5 km (1.6 mi) north of the International Border. The southern periphery of interior British Columbia (BC) thus represents the second xystodesmid faunal region in BC and the third in Canada. While incorporation of Euryuridae does not affect the family\&$\#$39;s overall distribution, that of Eurymerodesmidae fundamentally alters it by joining the formerly separate East-Nearctic and Meso-American regions into a continuous one extending, north-south, from Montr\éal Island, Qu\ébec, to Santa Ana Department, El Salvador, a distance of around 4,944 km (3,090 mi). Xystodesmidae also inhabit two West-Nearctic regions, one in the interior stretching from southernmost BC to northeastern Oregon and the other running along the Pacific Coast from southern Alaska to southern California. The family also occupies two Palearctic regions, each with three subregions, an eastern one spreading from Hokkaido, Japan, and the southern Maritime Province, Russia, to Taiwan; a point locality in northern Vietnam; and southern/eastern China. The second Palearctic area extends along the Mediterranean and adjoining seas from Morocco, Sardinia, and the southeastern corner of France to Cyprus and southern coastal Turkey. New locality data, references, and maps are provided along with diagnostic accounts of all reconceptualized taxa and new/revived statuses. A simple, sublinear, \"stick-like\" acropodite with a curve or bend near midlength or subapically and without a secondary telopodital projection is the hypothesized plesiomorphic gonopodal condition in Xystodesmidae. This form has undergone multitudinous modifications/alterations - twists, curls, variably configured thickened and laminate expansions, reductions, bi-/trifurcations, enlargements, ornamentations, etc. that are manifested in today\&$\#$39;s xystodesmine tribes. When Avalonia collided with Baltica 450 million years ago, ancestral xystodesmoideans on the former dispersed into the latter, penetrated and occupied vacant niches, and evolved into today\&$\#$39;s Melaphina (Euryurinae: Euryurini) and Devilleina (Xystodesminae). A similar evolutionary burst leading to today\&$\#$39;s Nearctic and East-Palearctic faunas occurred 10 million years later when Avalonia + Baltica collided with Laurentia to form Euramerica. Ancestral forms of Euryurinae and Xystodesminae again penetrated vacant niches and evolved; the former maintained the general gonopodal structural pattern of Melaphina but changed the epiproct from triangular to broad and spatulate, thereby creating Euryurina. The earliest xystodesmine taxa to evolve in Laurentia were Rhysodesmini and Rhysodesmus, which spread southwestward, penetrated \"proto- Mexico, and left relict populations in today\&$\#$39;s southern Appalachians. Eurymerodesmina and Nannariina arose from ancestral euryurine stock prior to the Cretaceous in western Appalachia in their present area of overlap. The former dispersed to the west and south while the latter expanded to the east and north; consequently, the Western Inland Seaway minimally impacted Nannariina while eradicating Eurymerodesmina from the inundated area. Today\&$\#$39;s populations in the Plains and south-southeastern states therefore represent secondary dispersion in the past 50-60 million years. The Seaway also eradicated Rhysodesmus from these areas, but enough forms survived in high mountain refugia to replenish the fauna when the embayment receded.

In North America west of the Continental Divide, the milliped family Polydesmidae consists of six genera and 15 species, and occupies eight disjunct areas.

New records are presented for the coastal species of Bidentogon Buckett and Gardner, 1968, occurring from Mendocino to Santa Cruz counties, California, and encompassing the area around San Francisco Bay. The oldest available name for this species is californicus (Chamberlin, 1918), whose type locality is Stanford, Santa Clara County. This name has been misapplied to the species occurring in Sacramento County, herein named B. expansus, n. sp., and B. helferorum Buckett and Gardner, 1968, is placed in synonymy under B. californicus.

Calianotus, n. gen., is proposed for three small California polydesmids in which the gonopodal tibiotarsus arises basally and the endomerite possesses a lateral branch and two shorter distal projections. Brachydesmus (Brachydesmus) yosemitensis Causey, occurring in the Sierra Nevada from Calaveras to Tulare counties, is the type species; Polydesmus sastianus Chamberlin is assigned to the representative occurring in the upper Sacramento River Valley, in the Mt. Shasta area of Shasta and Siskiyou counties; and Brachydesmus bituberculatus Loomis, occurring east of San Francisco Bay in Contra Costa and Alameda counties, is transferred into the genus. Calianotus is related to Scytonotus Koch; relationships within the genus are sastianus + (bituberculatus + yosemitensis). The identity of Phreatodesmus hastingsus (Chamberlin), plausibly referrable to Calianotus, cannot be assumed because the original illustrations are meaningless and the vial with the holotype now contains two different polydesmids, one of which occurs in Idaho.

Diagnoses are presented for two new paeromopodid milliped species from California - Paeromopus paniculus, from the Merced River Valley, Mariposa County, and Californiulus blechrostriatus, from the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada and the desert of Inyo County. Paeromopus buttensis is reduced to subspecific status under P. angusticeps because of a newly discovered intergrade male from central Sonoma County and reinterpretation of P. ocellatus in western Solano County, which is comprised of anatomically intermediate forms and placed in synonymy under P. a. buttensis, new status. New localities of Californiulus dorsovittatus and C. yosemitensis in Lassen, Modoc, and Siskiyou counties connect the formerly disjunct Warner Mountain population of the latter to the main ranges of the genus and family. The southern area of C. yosemitensis, extending from Mariposa to Kern counties, is segregated from that from Placer County northward because the species has never been collected in El Dorado, Amador, and Calaveras counties. The distribution of C. euphanus in western Washington extends eastward into the western periphery of the Columbia Plateau.

The bioluminescence is a continuous, neon-white glow of the entire dorsal surface including the antennae and 1egs.Its visibility at night suggests a warning function analogous to aposematic coloration. The phenomenon may observe a circadian rhythm, and controlled photoperiod experimentation may be productive.

The family Paeromopodidae is comprised of large, agile millipeds that include the longest diplopods in the Nearctic. It is endemic to three regions in the western United States - a large, irregular area extending from the southern Sierra Nevada Mountains and the Monterey Peninsula of California to the northern Puget Sound region of Washington, a small, ovoid area in the Warner Mountains of northeastern California and the adjacent fringes of Oregon and Nevada, and an area in the northwestern interior extending from the Wallowa Mountains of northeastern Oregon to Flathead Lake, Montana. Representatives have flat, plate-like gonopods that represent the coxites; the flagellum is absent from the anterior gonopods and the telopodite is lost from both gonopod pairs. The family includes two genera: Paeromopus Karsch, with five species - angusticeps (Wood), eldoradus, cavicolens, and buttensis, all by Chamberlin, and ocellatus Loomis - and Californiulus Verhoeff, with five species - chamberlini (Brolemann), comb. n., dorsovittatus Verhoeff, yosemitensis Chamberlin, euphanus (Chamberlin), and parvior (Chamberlin). The principal taxonomic features involve the configurations of the distal and midlength projections of the anterior gonopods and the terminal or subterminal projections of the posterior genitalia. Californiulus chamberlini, dorsovittatus, and yosemitensis display broad, yellow, middorsal stripes, the last also with a median black line, and the other species exhibit light or dark transverse bands.

The harpaphine xystodesmid milliped genus Isaphe, characterized by two telopodal branches and a prefemoral process that angles across the medial face of the telopodite, comprises two species. Isaphe convexa Cook occurs in montane forests of northern Idaho and Montana, and I. tersa (Cook) is known from riparian woodlands in canyons of the Snake, Salmon, and Palouse river basins in southeastern Washington and west-central Idaho. They are distinguished by the degree of dorsal convexity, strong in I. convexa and weak in I. tersa, and by the length of the prefemoral process, which is long and slender and extends well beyond the caudal margin of the telopodite stem in I. convexa, and is short and broad and terminates well before the margin in I. tersa. The strong convexity in I. convexa results from greater expression of the dorsal curvature than is the case in most xystodesmids because of a lower than usual origin of the paranota, rather than from depression of the latter. The following new synonymies are proposed: Hybaphe Cook under Isaphe Cook, H. curtipes Cook under I. tersa, and Leptodesmus (Isaphe) simplex Chamberlin under Harpaphe haydeniana haydeniana (Wood).

The type specimens of all five milliped species-Trichopetalum lunatum, T. glomeratum, T. iuloides, Iulus furcifer, and Polydesmus armatus-and one of the two centipedes, Lithobius pinetorum, authored by Oscar Harger in his only paper on myriapods and previously thought to be lost, are housed at the Peabody Museum of Natural History, Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut. From our knowledge of the itinerary of the Yale paleontological expedition of 1871, we know the type locality of T. glomeratum, I. furcifer, P. armatus, and L. pinetorum, previously stated s the \"John Day River Valley, Oregon (USA:\" is restricted to the vicinity of Canyon City, Grand County, on the western slope of the Blue Mountains. The female holotype confirms that T. glomeratum is a representative of the chordeumatoid family. Conotvlidae, and the name is assigned provisionally to Taiyutyla pending collection of a male topotype. Unidentifiable female conotylids are also reported from another area in eastern Oregon and the Snake Mountains in eastern Nevada, which suggests that the family is widespread in montane forests at high elevations in the generally arid Columbia Plateau and Basin and Range Physiographic Provinces. To facilitate future studies, I provide gonopod drawings of male syntypes for I. furcifer and P. armatus.

Metaxycheir pacifica, a new chonaphine xystodesmid milliped from Vancouver Island, British Columbia, inhabits decidous spots in the forests along the Pacific Ocean from Bamfield to China Beach Provincial Park. It displays a subcylindrical body, imparted by reduced paranota caudal to segment 4; an acropodite in the form of a broad, open loop; and an acicular prefemoral process with minute subapical barbules. It is segregated from the type species, M. prolata Buckett and Gardner, in northern Idaho, by over 600 km, and is the second western Canadian xystodesmid. The tribe Chonaphini occupies five areas of allopatric populations: that of M. pacifica; from central Oregon to western Montana; and three areas in the north central and eastern states. The Pacific coastal region harbors the most diverse fauna of western Canada, and a second center of diversity lies around Mount Revelstoke and Glacier national parks. The diplopod fauna of Alaska and western Canada consists of at least 5 orders, 13 families, 22 genera, and 24 species; of these, 5, 10, 16, and 17 are indigenous forms and 2, 4, 6, and 7 are introductions, respectively. The chordeumatoid family Rhiscosomididae and the genus Rhiscosomides are new to Canada; five allochthonus species, Cylindroiulus caeruleocinctus (Wood), Ophyiulus pilosus (Newport), Oxidus gracilis (C. L. Koch), Brachydesmus superus Latzel, and Polydesmus inconstans Latzel, are new to the western provinces; and the Polyxenidae (Polyxenida) and Caseyidae (Chordeumatida) are new to Alaska.

The milliped genus Abacion is summarized, and tesselatum Rafinesque, lactarium (Say), magnum (Loomis), and texense (Loomis) are recognized as valid species even though a low level of gene interchange may be occurring between tesselatum and magnum in coastal Georgia and tesselatum and lactarium in Illinois. Geographic races do not appear to be developing in any species, and all other species group names are relegated to appropriate synonymies. Abacion occurs widely in the eastern half of the United States, from the Atlantic Ocean to the central Great Plains and from the Great Lakes to southern Florida and northeastern Mexico. Species ranges overlap broadly, and instances of sympatry and syntopy are common. The species are similar anatomically, and the most reliable taxonomic characters are found on the male gonopods, particularly the configurations of the coxal processes and the distal elements of the telopodites.
