All nominal species of the horvathi group of species within Cylindroiulus (Crenatoiulus) are reviewed. In conclusion, 2 valid species are maintained: Cylindroiulus horvathi (Verhoeff, 1897), and C. abaligetanus Verhoeff, 1901. One new species is added to the group, Cylindroiulus cambio sp. n., which is described from Rostov-on-Don, Russia. Cylindroiulus vitosae Strasser, 1962 and C. ponticus Golovatch, 1978 are synonymized with C. horvathi. Descriptive notes on the species are given, and the geographical distribution of the group members is discussed.

Abstract: Two large collections of Cylindroiulus were examined (one from the Basque country and Navarra and one from Andalucía) supplemented by other, smaller collections from other areas of Spain; in total 10 species were represented. Three new species are described: C. caramelos sp. nov., C. elosegiorum sp. nov. and C. karinhansorum sp. nov. The remaining seven species are: C. londinensis (Leach, 1814), C. franzi Attems, 1952, C. punctatus (Leach, 1815), C. pyrenaicus Brölemann, 1897, C. sagittarius Brölemann, 1897, C. sanctimichaelis Attems, 1927 and C. unciger Attems, 1952. Information has been presented on these species where this has added to that previously available. Comments have been made on the challenging londinensis-group which seems particularly specious in the Iberian Peninsula. Suggestions are made for further work on this group include genetic studies.

El género de milpiés Cylindroiulus Verhoeff, 1894 (Diplopoda: Julida; Julidae) en España: citas recientes y descripción de tres nuevas especies del País Vasco, Navarra, Andalucía y Cataluña

Resumen: Se han examinado dos cuantiosas colecciones de Cylindroiulus (una del País Vasco y Navarra y otra de Andalucía), y se han suplementado con otras, más pequeñas, de otras áreas de España; en total se han encontrado 10 especies. Se han descrito tres nuevas especies: C. caramelos sp. nov., C. elosegiorum sp. nov. y C. karinhansorum sp. nov. Las otras siete especies fueron: C. londinensis (Leach, 1814), C. franzi Attems, 1952, C. punctatus (Leach, 1815), C. pyrenaicus Brölemann, 1897, C. sagittarius Brölemann, 1897, C. sanctimichaelis Attems, 1927 y C. unciger Attems, 1952. Se presenta información sobre esas especies, añadiéndola a la ya disponible. Se hacen comentarios sobre el difícil grupo londinensis, que parece ser especialmente rico en especies en la península ibérica. Se sugieren futuras líneas de investigación para este grupo, incluyendo estudios genéticos.

The millipede Brachydesmus superus Latzel, Polydesmus inconstans Latzel (Diplopoda: Polydesmida) and Kryphioiulus occultus C. L. Koch (Diplopoda: Julida) were collected from compost in gardens in Lublin, eastern Poland. Collections were made by using pitfall traps between April – September 2009 and 2010. Brachydesmus superus, Polydesmus inconstans and Kryphioiulus occultus play a significant role in composting of plant residues. Cylindroiulus caeruleocinctus Wood and Ommatoiulus sabulosus Linnaeus (Diplopoda: Julida) were collected manually in 2009-2011 in fallows and ruderals of Lublin and Kraków. C. caeruleocinctus and O. sabulosus caused considerable nuisance during mass occurrence and migration in human residences. The sex ratio has been determined for populations of C. caeruleocinctus, total sex ratio average 1:1.46. The number of females prevailed. Millipedes of the temperate climate have two peaks in the spring and autumn pattern of activity of the year. Both common species C. caeruleocinctus and O. sabulosus were analysed bacteriologically. The millipede Cylindroiulus caeruleocinctus transmits Citrobacter freundii, Pantoea agglomerans, Serratia marcescens, Raoultella planticola, Salmonella arizonae. The millipede Ommatoiulus sabulosus transmits Citrobacter freundii, Pantoea agglomerans, Raoultella planticola and Xanthomonas maltophila.

Two decades have passed since the last checklist of the millipedes in Slovakia. During this time, several new records have been added and taxonomic revisions have occurred. The present updated checklist summarizes data on all millipede species recorded in Slovakia, including altogether 93 species. For each species, habitat evaluation, ecological classification and distributional pattern is provided. Ecological classification is presented for the first time for the area of Slovakia and can be used in ecological studies and for the needs of nature protection. Special remarks to selected taxa are given, including Geoglomeris subterranea Verhoeff, 1908, Brachyiulus lusitanus Verhoeff, 1898, Cylindroiulus britannicus (Verhoeff, 1891), C. parisiorum (Brölemann & Verhoeff, 1896) and Polydesmus burzenlandicus Verhoeff, 1925, which are recently found for the first time, as well as C. arborum Verhoeff, 1928, confirmed in Slovakia after more than 70 years.

1. Macro‐detritivores are important fragmenters performing a first step in the ecosystem process of nutrient cycling. Woodlice and millipedes are important representatives of this group and their ecology and niche requirements are often regarded as very similar. However, it is unclear whether there is a difference in temporal activity throughout the year between both groups, possibly leading to temporal complementarity for leaf litter breakdown, and whether patterns of temporal variation in activity are consistent across different habitat types.

2. We studied year‐round pitfall‐trap data of woodlice and millipedes from an old sand quarry with a high habitat heterogeneity.

3. Our results indicate that there is high temporal complementarity between both detritivore taxa, with millipede activity‐density peaking in spring, while woodlice showing a peak in summer. Interestingly, timing of activity depended on habitat openness. Millipedes peak first in open habitat and later in closed habitat, while woodlice showed the opposite pattern.

4. Temporal turnover in community composition was high and of similar magnitude as spatial turnover in community composition across this relatively small scale of our study area.

5. We conclude that, although woodlice and millipedes show comparable habitat preferences, their temporal activity patterns show the potential for temporal complementarity for litter breakdown.

The release of greenhouse gases from millipede digestive tracts warrants study because of its potential effect on climate change and also as an indicator of microbial processes that transform organic matter during passage through the gut of these animals. Gas chromatography was used to quantify the release of methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2), and nitrous oxide (N2O) from living millipedes in laboratory conditions. The effect of four food types (leaf litter of alder, oak, and maple, and rotten wood) on the release of CH4, CO2, and N2O by 12 species was also assessed. In addition, two julid species were fed pure cellulose to test the ability of these millipedes to obtain energy from cellulose and to determine the effect of this diet on gas production.

All of the tested millipede species produced CO2 and some produced CH4. Stable and substantial CH4 emission was restricted to the large millipedes in the tropical orders Spirobolida and Spirostreptida. This asymmetrical phylogenetic distribution of CH4 production may be related to body size and the presence of gut commensals, but these factors may influence each other and depend upon geographic distribution of species. The quality of the food and feeding regime can also affect CH4 production in that CH4 release was significantly higher when millipedes were fed alder leaf litter rather than oak or maple leaf litter. CO2 production from millipedes mainly reflected the metabolic response of the animals. Traces of N2O were only occasionally emitted by millipedes; this release evidently depends on the N content in the food and seems to be restricted to members of the Glomeridae family. Based on gas production, the tested species of millipedes were unable to obtain their energy needs from a diet of pure cellulose.
