Une vue d\’ensemble in\édite des P\énicillates est publi\ée ici. Elle compl\ète la description des super-familles et familles de Silvestri (1948a) et propose la subdivision de la famille des Polyxenidae en 4 sous-familles : Polyxeninae, Monographinae, Macroxeninae et Hypogexeninae ; les 3 premi\ères caract\éris\ées par la structure du telson, la quatri\ème, ayant pour type Hypogexenus pusillus Silvestri, 1903, de statut incertain.

Present classification of Diplopoda Penicillata (Myriapoda), with new definitions of taxa

An overview of the classification of Penicillata is presented, based on an unpublished manuscript written by B. Cond\é some years before his death, updated to take into account recent work on the group. It revises the descriptions of Silvestri\’s (1948a) superfamilies and families, and proposes a subdivision of the family Polyxenidae into four sub-families: Polyxeninae Lucas, 1840, Monographinae Cond\é nov., Macroxeninae Cond\é nov. and Hypogexeninae Schubart, 1947. The first three subfamilies are characterised by the structure of the telson, while the fourth is of uncertain status. The creation of a family-rank taxon for the succinctly described species H. pusillus Schubart in 1947 appears unwarranted and we therefore reduce Hypogexenidae to the rank of a subfamily, Hypogexeninae, within the Polyxenidae.
