A review is given of all the literature records of millipedes and centipedes that have been found in German greenhouses together with additional records for 29 such sites. Species lists are given for 46 greenhouses investigated throughout Germany. Thirty-five diplopod and 18 chilopod species were found to occur in greenhouses, of which 15 (3 Chilopoda, 12 Diplopoda) are restricted to this type of habitat. First records for Germany include Anadenobolus monilicornis (Porat, 1876), Epinannolene cf. trinidadensis Chamberlin, 1918, Epinannolene sp., Mesoiulus gridellii Strasser, 1934, Leptogoniulus sorornus (Butler, 1876), Rhinotus purpureus (Pocock, 1894), Cryptops doriae Pocock, 1891, Lamyctes coeculus (Br\ölemann, 1889) and Tygarrup javanicus (Attems, 1907). The millipedes Oxidus gracilis (C. L. Koch, 1847) and Amphitomeus attemsi (Schubart, 1934) and the centipedes Lithobius forficatus (Linnaeus, 1758) and Cryptops hortensis (Donovan, 1810) are the species most frequently found in greenhouses.

This is a supplement to the Burmese (Myanmar) amber checklist and bibliography covering taxa described or recorded during 2021, plus a few earlier records that were missed previously. Up to the end of 2021, 2,198 species were recorded from Kachin amber of which 337 were named in 2021. Five species were named or recorded from older Hkamti amber.

A new family, Electrocambalidae fam.\ nov. of the suborder Cambalidea is described from Cretaceous Burmese amber based on two new genera, Electrocambala gen.\ nov. and Kachincambala gen.\ nov. with four new species, Electrocambala ornata gen. et sp.\ nov., E.\ cretacea gen. et sp.\ nov., Kachincambala muelleri gen. et sp.\ nov. and K.\ distorta gen. et sp.\ nov. The specimens are described combining classical light microscopy with drawings and photography, and modern micro-computed tomography (\μCT). Morphological characters otherwise obscured are examined and visualized by creating volume renderings and 3D-segmentations from \μCT data. Electrocambalidae fam.\ nov. is characterized by the following character combination: (1) a forward shift of leg pair 3, resulting in an apparently legless 3rd body ring, (2) presence of metazonital setae, and (3) extensive pilosity on the head. Although some of these characters are shared with other Juliformia they are unique in this combination. The described fossils are the oldest and first Mesozoic Spirostreptida and Cambalidea known and ca 70 million years older than previous records of the group.

The present study provides historical and new records of the introduced millipedes species in Brazil, Oxidus gracilis (C.L. Koch, 1847), Orthomorpha coarctata (Saussure, 1860) (Paradoxosomatidae), Prosopodesmus jacobsoni Silvestri, 1910 (Haplodesmidae), Trachyjulus calvus (Pocock, 1893a), Glyphiulus granulatus (Gervais, 1847) (Cambalopsidae), Trigoniulus corallinus (Gervais, 1842), Leptogoniulus sorornus (Butler, 1876), Epitrigoniulus cruentatus (Br\ölemann, 1903) (Pachybolidae), Paraspirobolus lucifugus (Gervais, 1837) (Spirobolellidae), Cylindroiulus britannicus (Verhoeff, 1891), Cylindroiulus truncorum (Silvestri, 1896) (Julidae), and Rhinotus purpureus (Pocock, 1894) (Siphonotidae). Among the 27 federative units in Brazil, 21 states present at least one record of a non-native species. Orthomorpha coarctata was the most widely distributed species, occurring in 15 states. Glyphiulus granulatus (state of Rio Grande do Sul), C.\ truncorum (S\ão Paulo), and R.\ purpureus (Amazonas) were recorded from only one Brazilian state. The Southeast region concentrates most of the compiled records (42,6\%) and richness by grid (5-7 species), mainly in urban areas of the states of Rio de Janeiro and S\ão Paulo.

The recent delimitation of the cambalopsid genera Hypocambala and Glyphiulus is debatable. The focus of controversy is whether the presence of crests on the trunk rings is an appropriate key character dividing these two genera. To address this issue, we conducted a molecular phylogenetic analysis including species with or without crests belonging to Hypocambala and species with crests belonging to Glyphiulus. The results of the phylogenetic analysis suggest that cambalopsids with crests are monophyletic and sister to a species without crests. Hypocambala polytricha, a cambalopsid with crests that is in a clade with crested Glyphiulus species, should be transferred to Glyphiulus. Therefore, a new combination is proposed, Glyphiulus polytrichus comb. nov. In addition, a discussion on the boundary between these two genera and a description of a new species, Hypocambala zizhongi sp. nov., are provided.

The genus Holopodostreptus Carl, 1913 is a poorly known monotypic genus endemic to Ecuador. It differs from most other Pseudonannolenidae by a set of characteristics of the gnathochilarium and gonopods. Herein, we provide descriptive notes of males of H. braueri Carl, 1913 based on recently collected material. Females of the species are described for the first time, and images of the vulvae are provided. In addition, we attempt for the first time to place Holopodostreptus in a phylogenetic context. With a total of 14 taxa and 41 morphological characters, and under implied weighting (k = 6), a single most-parsimonious tree is recovered (total fit = 35.86). The genus is recovered as sister-group of Physiostreptus Silvestri, 1903. The clade Holopodostreptus + Physiostreptus is supported by one synapomorphy (absence of setae on the prefemoral process of leg-pair 1 in males) and one homoplastic transformation (narrow telopodite). Based on the phylogenetic results, notes on the subfamilies Pseudonannoleninae, Cambalomminae and Physiostreptinae and a key for all pseudonannolenid genera are provided.

Abstract: Forest clearance, especially in the tropics, leads to habitat loss for many organisms including litter-dwelling arthropods. Among other invertebrates, millipedes (Diplopoda) provide important ecosystem services like decomposition and nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems. Despite their importance, little is known about litter inverte-brates\&$\#$39; response to tropical forest degradation and their role in reforestation. The present article should rather be regarded as a review of millipedes\&$\#$39; occurrence in tropical forests with a pilot study from Madagascar, because the sample size is small and results need to be confirmed. This pilot study investigated the relationship between millipedes and vegetation characteristics in the eastern rainforests of Madagascar, in the region of Andasibe, parts of which are undergoing reforestation.

Vegetation characteristics were measured in ten different forests encompassing different types: remnant rainforest, secondary forest, old Eucalyptus plantations, recently enriched with indigenous tree species, and degraded sites. Millipede species were searched by hand, identified and their occurrence in relation to the environmental characteristics was described. Vegetation characteristics differed between forest types. Old Eucalyptus plantations, secondary forest, and primary rainforest were associated with higher litter depth and more native millipede species than degraded sites and forests afforested with native tree species since 2007. Non-native millipedes occurred in all vegetation formations except the primary rainforest site and did not show any relationship with vegetation characteristics. In contrast, native milli-pedes\&$\#$39; occurrence was related to conditions associated with mature forest, such as high litter depth and high foliage cover. Logistic regression revealed a threshold of litter depth above which native millipedes are likely to occur. The results indicate that native milli-pedes are affected by forest degradation and are incompletely restored even when the afforested forest might approach the original state. Special care should be taken during reforestation efforts, as non-native soil arthropods can be introduced, completely replacing the indigenous biota.

Resum\é: Les cons\équences de la d\éforestation globale sont multiples. Pour la plupart des organismes, la d\éforestation est la cause principale de la destruction des habitats. Les arthropodes qui vivent sur le sol forestier ou dans le feuillage sont ainsi menac\és, surtout dans les for\êts tropicales. Ces organismes sont pourtant indispensables au maintien de la r\ésilience de la for\êt. Dans l\’\écosyst\ème forestier, les millepattes et autres arthropodes sont tr\ès importants pour la mise \à disposition de diff\érents services \écosyst\émiques, par exemple pour leur r\ôle dans le cycle des \él\éments nutritifs, la formation des sols et la d\écomposition. Malgr\é leur importance, peu d\’informations sont disponibles sur la r\éaction des invert\ébr\és suite \à la d\égradation des for\êts et leur r\ôle dans la reforestation.

Cette \étude tient surtout lieu de r\évision de l\’occurrence des millepattes dans les for\êts tropicales avec une \étude pilote men\ée \à Madagascar, dans la mesure o\ù l\&$\#$39;\échantillonnage est r\éduit et que les r\ésultats restent partiels. Cette \étude pilote analyse les relations entre les millepattes et les caract\éristiques v\ég\étales dans les for\êts de l\’Est de Madagascar, dans la r\égion d\’Andasibe. Ces for\êts sont tr\ès diverses et dix types de for\êt ont \ét\é consid\ér\és, \à savoir une for\êt r\écemment d\égrad\ée et une for\êt d\égrad\ée, une for\êt d\égrad\ée et rebois\ée avec des esp\èces arbor\ées indig\ènes en 2007, 2012 ou 2015, des plantations d\’Eucalyptus abandonn\ées depuis 1930 ou 1909, deux for\êts secondaires, une for\êt primaire. Dans ces diff\érents types de for\êt, les caract\éristiques de la v\ég\étation ont \ét\é enregistr\ées et des millepattes ont \ét\é r\écolt\és \à la main. Les esp\èces de millepattes ont \ét\é identifi\ées et leur occurrence ont \ét\é analys\ées par rapport aux caract\éristiques de la v\ég\étation. Les vieilles plantations d\’Eucalyptus et les for\êts secondaire et primaire \étaient caract\éris\ées par une couche plus \épaisse de feuilles et davantage d\’esp\èces de millepattes indig\ènes par rapport aux for\êts d\égrad\ée et replant\ée. Les esp\èces allog\ènes \étaient pr\ésentes dans tous les types de for\êt \à l\’exception de la for\êt primaire. La pr\ésence de ces esp\èces n\’\était pas li\ée aux caract\éristiques de la v\ég\étation. En revanche, l\’occurrence des esp\èces indig\ènes \était associ\ée \à des conditions qui sont caract\éristiques des for\êts matures, par exemple une couche de feuilles \épaisse et une couverture foliaire dense. L\’analyse de r\égression logistique a r\év\él\é une valeur seuil pour la hauteur de la couche de feuilles mortes. Au-del\à de ce seuil, il est probable que les millepattes indig\ènes soient pr\ésents. L\’\étude a montr\é que les millepattes indig\ènes sont impact\és par la d\éforestation et qu\’ils ne sont pas facilement restaur\és m\ême si la restauration semble permettre \à la for\êt de se rapprocher de son \état initial.

An inventory of the Myriapoda (Diplopoda, Chilopoda, Symphyla) from Cretaceous Burmese amber, Myanmar, is presented, including the oldest and/or first fossil record for numerous orders. For millipedes (Diplopoda) 527 records, including 460 new specimens determined by us, belonging to 13 of 16 recent orders are listed: Polyxenida, Glomeridesmida, Glomerida, Siphonophorida, Polyzoniida, Platydesmida, Siphoniulida, Chordeumatida, Polydesmida, Stemmiulida, Callipodida, Spirostreptida and Spirobolida. For centipedes, 33 records for 4 of the 5 recent orders are listed: Scutigeromorpha, Lithobiomorpha, Scolopendromorpha and Geophilomorpha. For Symphyla, three records for both families, Scutigerellidae and Scolopendrellidae, are listed. The majority of Diplopoda records (30.5\%) are Polydesmida. The record of the Polyzoniida includes first instar octopod juveniles. The checklist includes the first fossil representatives known of the Platydesmida, as well as the oldest known fossils of the Polyxenida, Glomeridesmida, Glomerida, Siphonophorida, Polyzoniida, Siphoniulida, Spirostreptida, as well as both Symphyla families. Misidentifications by Zhang (2017) are corrected; while most Chilopoda in that list are correct, almost all Diplopoda are misidentified.

Two new species of Plusioglyphiulus are described from southern Cambodia. Plusioglyphiulus biserratus sp. nov. is clearly distinguished from all congeners by the shape of the telopodites of the posterior gonopods which are distinctly serrate laterally and by the anterior gonopods showing only a pair of single, smooth and curved coxosternal processes. Plusioglyphiulus khmer sp. nov. is distinguished by having most crests on the collum being complete and male legs 1 showing long, prominent, one-segmented telopodites, coupled with the oblong-subtrapeziform, membranous, posterior gonopods with a small bifid process at about a third of the telopodite length. Notes on the variation of Plusioglyphiulus boutini Mauri\ès, 1970 are also given, including a colour photograph of fresh, live material.

Laboulbeniales are highly specialized arthropod-associated fungi. The majority of the almost 2200 known species live on insects, although they also occur on other arthropod hosts. Recently, the number of Laboulbeniales associated with millipedes has increased considerably. Here we describe the first species of a Laboulbeniales fungus, Troglomyces twitteri sp. nov., from an American millipede. The new species was initially discovered on a photo of Cambala annulata (Say, 1821) from Ohio, USA, which had been shared on Twitter. A subsequent microscopic study of Cambala millipedes in museum collections in Denmark and France confirmed the discovery.

A new, giant species of Trachyjulus from a cave in southern Thailand is described, illustrated, and compared to morphologically closely related taxa. This new species, T. magnus sp. nov., is much larger than all other congeners and looks especially similar to the grossly sympatric T. unciger Golovatch, Geoffroy, Mauri\ès \& VandenSpiegel, 2012, which is widespread in southern Thailand. Phylogenetic trees, both rooted and unrooted, based on a concatenated dataset of the COI and 28S genes of nine species of Cambalopsidae (Trachyjulus, Glyphiulus, and Plusioglyphiulus), strongly support the monophyly of Trachyjulus and a clear-cut divergence between T. magnus sp. nov. and T. unciger in revealing very high average p-distances of the COI gene (20.80\–23.62\%).

The following paper is based upon the material of this family embraced in the entomological collection in the Museum of the Indiana University. In connection with the description of the new species, it has also been deemed best to introduce descriptions of those already known to science. The types of the new genera and species are deposited in the above museum.

Twenty caves located in a high altitudinal quartzite area in Brazil were examined for invertebrate richness and composition and in terms of environmental factors that determine community structure. We evaluate how distance, altitude, cave extension, environmental stability, number and size of cave entrances and stream presence can act on species composition and richness. The caves presented a high richness of troglophilic (463 spp.) and troglobitic species (6 spp.) in relation to other siliciclastic caves around the world. The average richness was 39.55 species per cave (sd = 21.87), the quantitative similarity among caves was 41\% and turnover was \βrepl. = 0.769. Araneae (20\% of the sampled species), Diptera (18\%) and Coleoptera (14\%) were the dominant orders regarding species richness. Only twenty percent of the caves were placed out of the confidence interval of the average taxonomic distinctness (∆+); however, the ∆+ decreased with the increase of environmental stability. Cave extension and stream presence were the main factors determining the variation of species composition among caves. Cave extension also influenced species richness variations. Furthermore, the total richness and richness of troglobitic species increased with cave extension. The threats to these habitats further revealed that the fauna is at risk due to tourism, trampling and natural soil erosion that can promote microhabitat alterations. Therefore, quartzite caves also require special attention regarding conservation actions in order to keep their natural biological dynamics.
