Abstract:

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.
