Abstract:

Since 2005, the last comprehensive species list of the millipedes of Hungary, several new species to the fauna have been approved. Here we provide an updated summary of all Hungarian Diplopoda, comprising altogether 107 species. Brachyiulus pusillus (Leach, 1815) and Chondrodesmus riparius Carl, 1914, based on recent collections, are considered as new to the fauna of Hungary. We give special remarks to the following taxa: Julus curvicornis Verhoeff, 1899, Typhloiulus polypodus (Loksa, 1960), Hungarosoma bokori Verhoeff, 1928, Heteracrochordum evae (Loksa, 1960), Ochogona spp., Haasea hungarica (Verhoeff, 1928), Mastigona spp., and some Polydesmidae. In addition, the taxonomical relationship between B. bagnalli (Brolemann, 1924), B. lusitanus (Verhoeff, 1898), and B. pusillus is discussed in detail. With 21 figures.
