Abstract: The first formal record of the pantropical millipede, Cylindrodesmus hirsutus Pocock, 1889, is given from Cameroon. The species seems to be restricted to a man-made palm plantation within the capital city of Yaound\é, apparently being represented by a bisexual population. A male is richly illustrated to confirm the identity.

Первая находка пантропической антропохорной многоножки Cylindrodesmus hirsutus Pocock, 1889 в Камеруне (Diplopoda: Polydesmida: Haplodesmidae)
РЕЗЮМЕ: Приведена первая формальная находка пантропической многоножки Cylindrodesmus hirsutus Pocock, 1889 в Камеруне. Вид, вероятно, приурочен к рукотворной пальмовой плантации в столице Яунде, будучи представлен, очевидно, обоеполой популяцией. Даны многочисленные иллюстрации самца для подтверждения видовой принадлежности.

Three new species of Eviulisoma are described from Cameroon: E. subfalcatum sp.n., E. bipartitum sp.n., and E. simplex sp.n. These first records of the genus from Cameroon extend its distribution range to central West Africa and confirm the Afrotropical distribution of the genus. A key to all three new Cameroonian species is provided.

A new millipede species of the genus Sechelleptus Mauri\ès, 1980 is described and illustrated from Mayotte Island, Indian Ocean. This new species, S. arborivagus sp. nov., found on trees, looks particularly similar to the sympatric S. variabilis VandenSpiegel \& Golovatch, 2007, but is much larger and has a very different ecological behavior. Phylogenetic analyses based on a concatenated dataset of the COI and 16S rRNA genes and including nine species of Spirostreptidae (including Sechelleptus, Doratogonus Attems, 1914, Bicoxidens Attems, 1928 and Spirostreptus Brandt, 1833), strongly support the monophyly of Sechelleptus. Despite the similarity of their genitalia, the molecular analyses also reveal a clear-cut genetic divergence between S. arborivagus sp. nov. and S. variabilis (22.55\% for COI and 6.63\% for 16SrRNA) and further suggest the presence of a higher diversity within the genus Sechelleptus on Mayotte.

A new species of the oligotypic millipede genus Tymbodesmus is described from Cameroon:T. golovatchi sp.n. It is distinguished by the presence of a single spine on the gonopod nodus and the absence of a paxillus on body segment 15. New material of the type-species T. figlinus Cook, 1899,
previously known in Cameroon only from the littoral region (Kumba \“Mundame\”), is also illustrated.

During a soil zoological expedition to S\ão Tom\é and Pr\íncipe in 2010 by the California Academy of Sciences, millipedes of the genus Globanus were collected. Samples of G. marginescaber (Karsch, 1884) and G. integer (Karsch, 1884) were recovered in addition to those containing a new species. Globanus drewesi sp. nov. is described and additional records, illustrations, and descriptive notes are given for the other two species. A key to all three species of the genus is provided, and a distribution map is presented. The monotypic genus Lobogonus Demange, 1971, which includes L. trilobatus Demange, 1971, from Sierra Leone, mainland western Africa, is revalidated and removed from synonymy under Globanus. Lobogonus is illustrated from a type specimen.
