In the period 1999\–2014, occurrence and diversity of millipedes was investigated at 90 localities in the Jizersk\é hory Mts (most of them being covered by the Jizersk\é hory Protected Landscape Area), Fr\ýdlantsk\á pahorkatina Hills, Je\št{\v e}dsk\ý h{\v r}bet Ridge and Libereck\á kotlina Basin. The material was collected using a combination of three methods: individual sampling, pitfall trapping and sifting of leaf litter. In total 41 millipede species were found, making up 53\% of the millipede fauna recently known in the Czech Republic. In general, the Jizersk\é hory Mts together with the adjacent areas of the Fr\ýdlantsk\á pahorkatina Hills, Je\št{\v e}dsk\ý h{\v r}bet Ridge and Libereck\á kotlina Basin rank among the richest areas in millipede diversity in the Czech Republic. The most frequent species were the common millipedes Leptoiulus trilobatus, Julus scandinavius, Haasea germanica, Unciger foetidus, Mycogona germanica, Proteroiulus fuscus, Nemasoma varicorne and Polydesmus complanatus. The rare species Trachysphaera costata, Melogona gallica and Haploporatia eremita were recorded. The Botanical Garden in Liberec hosts the rare synanhropic species Cylindroiulus vulnerarius, otherwise known in the Czech Republic from Prague only. The highest numbers of millipede species per site were found in natural habitats of Zlat\á Ole\šnice (14) and the K{\v r}\í{\v z}ov\ý vrch Hill near Fr\ýdlant (12). The same number (12 species) was recorded in the city of Liberec and in the abandoned quarry in the V\ápenn\ý vrch Hill near Raspenava. In addition, two synanthropic species, Oxidus gracilis (tree nursery in Nov\é M{\v e}sto pod Smrkem) and Cylindroiulus caeruleocinctus (city gardens in Fr\ýdlant, L\ázn{\v e} Libverda), were recorded. The wettest localities (peat bogs of Nov\á louka and Na {\v C}ihadle) and the sites damaged by industrial emissions ({\v C}ern\á hora Mt.) were free of millipedes.

In 1997\–2005, millipede fauna was studied in the Czech Republic\&$\#$39;s capital, Prague. In Prague there are natural, semi-natural and man-made (artificial) habitats. Special attention was paid to forests, a forest steppe, a rock steppe, rock debris, river surface, parks, greenhouses, a garden centre, game parks, seedbeds and city greenery. At present, 51 species of millipedes occur there. Therefore, the Czech Republic\&$\#$39;s capital is the area with the highest number of millipedes in the country. For example, the K{\v r}ivokl\átsko PLA and BR, a comparable natural area rich in millipede species currently harbours 44 species of millipedes. A total number of millipede species in the Czech Republic is 76. Thus, 67\% of millipede species that were found in the Czech Republic inhabit Prague. During the research, 20 millipedes species new for Prague area were found, particularly those prefering man-made habitats. The species richness of introduced millipedes species in Prague is the highest among all of the areas having been studied in this respect in the Czech Republic. The millipede species rich site in Prague is the Zoological Garden in Troja, harbouring 26 species. The most common millipede species in Prague include Cylindroiulus caeruleocinctus, Ophyiulus pilosus, Julus scandinavius, Choneiulus palmatus, Blaniulus guttulatus and Cylindroiulus britannicus. On the other hand, the rare relic species that has been found in Prague are: Trachysphaera costata, Mastigophorophyllon saxonicum, Haploporatia eremita, Cylindroiulus luridus, Cylindroiulus arborum and Polydesmus germanicus. For the Czech Republic, rare synantropis species found in Prague are: Cylindroiulus vulnerarius, Cylindroiulus punctatus and Amphitomeus attemsi. The East European species Polyzonium germanicum and Rossiulus vilnensis reach its regional distribution limit in Prague. The four millipede species occurring in Prague, namely Trachysphaera costata, Cylindroiulus luridus, Polydesmus germanicus and Rossiulus vilnensis are included in the Red List of threatened invertebrate species in the Czech Republic.
