Distribution range of a large tropical millipede Chondrodesmus cf. riparius Carl, 1914 has been continuously expanding in Europe over the last two decades. Since the first records in 2000 in North Sweden this Colombian species has become well established in flowerpot habitats of Europe. The way of its spreading is traceable in published records, and points to Sweden as the country to which this species was introduced. Records are scattered, therefore the distribution revealed here might be underestimated. It is expected that this species will expand throughout Europe in consequence of intensive international plant trade. Herein, the first records of this alien millipede in flower pots in Poland are presented and the current range in Europe is summarized. The SEM images of the gonopods, and a partial COI mtDNA sequence (DNA barcode) are included.

Resumen: Las especies invasoras pueden causar diversos problemas a nivel socioeconómico y para la conservación de la biodiversidad. La detección temprana de las especies naturalizadas puede ser de vital importancia para el monitoreo y la planificación de estrategias de contención del proceso de invasión. La fauna de planarias terrestres (Tricladida, Geoplanoidea), babosas terrestres (Mollusca, Limacidae), diplópodos (Myriapoda, Diplopoda) y sínfilos (Myriapoda, Symphylla) de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires se encuentra poco estudiada, y la adición de especies exóticas transportadas por las actividades humanas complejiza la situación de poco conocimiento. En este trabajo se dan a conocer nuevos registros de especies de estos grupos que se han naturalizado en el ámbito urbano de la ciudad y sus alrededores (Bipalium kewense, Austroplana sanguinea, Ambigolimax valentianus, Brachyiulus pusillus, Oxidus gracilis y Scutigerella immaculata). Se evaluó el potencial como invasor de cada especie en base a lo registrado en otros países. Hasta el día de la fecha no existen registros publicados de planarias terrestres, sínfilos, o diplópodos para esta área, por lo cual el presente trabajo constituye la primera contribución sobre estos grupos. Las especies mencionadas perjudican a las actividades agropecuarias y horticulturales de diversas formas. Una tarea a futuro deberá ser la cuantificación de los daños que causan para establecer su importancia y el costo/beneficio de su control o manejo.

New or poorly known exotic invertebrates from Buenos Aires City

Abstract: Exotic invertebrates in the city of Buenos Aires. First steps for the monitoring of potential biological invasions. Invasive species can cause several problems at the socio-economic level and for the biodiversity conservation. The early detection of naturalized species can be of vital importance for the planning of containment strategies of the invasion process. The flat worms (Tricladida, Geoplanoidea), land slugs (Mollusca, Limacidae), millipedes (Myriapoda, Diplopoda) and symphillids (Myriapoda, Symphyla) of the Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires it is little studied, and the addition of exotic species transported by human activities complicates the situation of little knowledge. In this work, we present new records of species of these groups that have become naturalized in the urban area of the city and its surroundings (Bipalium kewense, Austroplana sanguinea, Ambigolimax valentianus, Brachyiulus pusillus, Oxidus gracilis y Scutigerella immaculata). The invasive potential of each species was evaluated based on what was registered in other countries. Until the date there are no published records of terrestrial flat worms, symphillids, or millipedes for this area, for which the present work constitutes the first contribution on these groups. The aforementioned species damage agricultural and horticultural activities in different ways. A future task should be the quantification of the damage caused to establish its importance and the cost / benefit of its control or management.

The genus Oxidus Cook, 1911 is revised to contain five species, O. avia (Verhoeff, 1937), O. gigas (Attems, 1953), O. gracilis (C.L. Koch, 1847), O. riukiaria (Verhoeff, 1940), and “species inquirenda” O. obtusus (Takakuwa, 1942). A cosmopolitan species, O. gracilis, is widely found in temperate and sub-tropical regions over the world, but other species have limited distribution in restricted regions, e.g., O. gigas in northern Vietnam, O. riukiaria and O. avia in the Ryukyu Islands (Japan). Four species, O. gracilis, O. riukiaria, O. avia and O. gigas, are confirmed as different from each other in gonopod characters, coloration and body size. The status of the last species, O. obtusus, is still doubtful and requires examination of further fresh material. The phylogenetic relationships among species of Oxidus is analyzed using two fragments of the mitochondrial genes COI (Cytochrome c Oxidase subunit I) and 16S rRNA. Three species of Oxidus are clearly separated from each other; O. gigas and O. gracilis form a monophyletic sister group with O. riukiaria. The genus Oxidus is also monophyletic and more closely related to the genus Tylopus Jeekel, 1968 than to the genera Sellanucheza Enghoff, Golovatch & Nguyen, 2004 or Kronopolites Attems, 1914. In addition, an identification key to species of Oxidus is provided.

Summary: The millipede Oxidus gracilis (C. L. Koch, 1847) is a cosmopolitan introduced species largely recorded in the southeast region of Brazil. The species is considered an agricultural pest with records in poly- or monocultures, and its influence on native communities of plants and invertebrates is still unknown in Brazil. From this perspective, a maximum entropy model was used to explore the predicted distribution of O. gracilis in Brazil. The results showed a highly suitable area in Atlantic Forest (AUC = 0.949 ± 0.02). Considering percent contribution, annual mean temperature (= 54.9) was the main variable which has influenced the modeling. The potentially suitable areas recovered in Atlantic Forest suggest that attention should be given to its possible invasion and the potential damage of O. gracilis to natural communities.

Modélisation de la niche écologique prédisant l’invasion potentielle du mille-pattes non indigène Oxidus gracilis (C. L. Koch, 1847) (Polydesmida : Paradoxosomatidae) dans la forêt atlantique brésilienne

Résumé: Le mille-pattes Oxidus gracilis (C. L. Koch, 1847) est une espèce introduite cosmopolite et largement observée dans la région sud-est du Brésil. L’espèce est considérée comme un ravageur agricole des mono- et polycultures, et son influence sur les communautés indigènes de plantes et d’invertébrés est encore inconnue au Brésil. Dans cette perspective, un modèle d’entropie maximale a été utilisé pour explorer la distribution potentielle d’O. gracilis au Brésil. Les résultats ont montré une zone favorable élevée dans la forêt atlantique (AUC = 0.949 ± 0.02). La température moyenne annuelle (= 54.9) a été la principale variable qui a influencé la modélisation. Les zones potentiellement favorables de la forêt atlantique suggèrent qu’il faut être vigilant quant à sa possible invasion et aux dommages potentiels sur les communautés indigènes.
