The family Mecistocephalidae in Middle Asia contains five accepted species. New records based on material from several collections allow for the distributions of three species to be refined: Arrup asiaticus (Titova, 1975) is new to the fauna of Uzbekistan (Tashkent Region) and to the South Kazakhstan Region of Kazakhstan, A. edentulus (Attems, 1904) is recorded from the Chuy Region of Kyrgyzstan for the first time, while Krateraspis meinerti (Sseliwanoff, 1881) is new to the Jambyl Region of Kazakhstan. Remarks are provided for all of the species encountered, their distributions being mapped as well. A key to all five Mecistocephalidae species occurring in Middle Asia is given.

11 species of lithobiomorph centipedes are recorded in Kazakhstan: Dzhungaria gigantea Farzalieva, Zalesskaja et Edgecombe, 2004, Cermatobius kirgisicus (Zalesskaja, 1972), Australobius magnus (Trotzina, 1894), Disphaerobius loricatus (Sseliwanoff, 1881), Hessebius golovatchi Farzalieva, 2017, H. multicalcaratus Folkmanová, 1958, H. perelae Zalesskaja, 1978, H. cf. plumatus Zalesskaja, 1978, Lithobius (L.) forficatus (Linnaeus, 1758), L.

L. forficatus and the genus Lithobius Leach, 1814, as well as the family Lithobiidae and the order Lithobiomorpha, are also new to the fauna of Kyzylorda Region. Remarks are provided and the mouthparts are illustrated for some species encountered. All new records are mapped. A table showing the distribution of all lithobiomorph species in Kazakhstan is provided.

Diplopoda are poorly studied in many regions. The last comprehensive work on the millipede fauna of Switzerland was published in 1993 and listed 124 outdoor-living species. Recent sampling efforts have resulted in the discovery of six millipede species of European origin that were not previously known to occur in Switzerland: Cylindroiulus britannicus (Verhoeff, 1891), C. salicivorus Verhoeff, 1908, C. vulnerarius (Berlese, 1888), Heteroiulus intermedius (Brölemann, 1892), Anamastigona pulchella (Silvestri, 1894) and Macrosternodesmus palicola Brölemann, 1908. None of them is currently invasive in Switzerland, but some are rapidly expanding across Europe and other regions of the world. A species which was previously only known from northern Italy, H. intermedius, was found in a forest close to Bellinzona. It is likely a native Swiss species which has previously been overlooked. The other five species were collected in human-made habitats in the city of Basel and its surroundings, suggesting human-caused introduction. Two species, C. britannicus and M. palicola, likely have an Atlantic origin, while the three remaining species, C. salicivorus, C. vulnerarius and A. pulchella, are originally from Italy. The biogeography of these six species is discussed, and photographs of specimens of each species and their gonopods are presented.
