Abstract: | The Nationally Rare millipede Melogona voigtii (Verhoeff, 1899) is reported from its first English site; a woodland in West Lancashire. A brief description with illustrations is provided, and comparison is made with the widespread M. gallica Latzel. The ancient woodland habitat and associated species is in keeping with the idea that it may be an overlooked native species. Additional sites may be found in England. However, its status remains Data Deficient pending additional observations. |
