Abstract: | Diagnoses are presented for two new paeromopodid milliped species from California - Paeromopus paniculus, from the Merced River Valley, Mariposa County, and Californiulus blechrostriatus, from the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada and the desert of Inyo County. Paeromopus buttensis is reduced to subspecific status under P. angusticeps because of a newly discovered intergrade male from central Sonoma County and reinterpretation of P. ocellatus in western Solano County, which is comprised of anatomically intermediate forms and placed in synonymy under P. a. buttensis, new status. New localities of Californiulus dorsovittatus and C. yosemitensis in Lassen, Modoc, and Siskiyou counties connect the formerly disjunct Warner Mountain population of the latter to the main ranges of the genus and family. The southern area of C. yosemitensis, extending from Mariposa to Kern counties, is segregated from that from Placer County northward because the species has never been collected in El Dorado, Amador, and Calaveras counties. The distribution of C. euphanus in western Washington extends eastward into the western periphery of the Columbia Plateau. |
