“…nov. than in T. napoensis, this pincer in the remaining Glomeridellidae may be considered as being clearly apomorphous. This contradicts the views of Oeyen and Wesener (2015) to regard the Glomeridellidae as the basal family of the order Glomerida, better agreeing instead with their later cladistic analysis (Oeyen and Wesener 2018).…”

“…The molecular sequences available in the GenBank and used in our phylogenetic analysis, which is apparently the first to be attempted for the entire order Glomerida , have allowed for two phylograms to be obtained. Since both BI and ML trees are similar and neither is congruent with the morphology-based phylogeny recovered by Oeyen and Wesener (2018) , we present here only the BI tree (Fig. 5 ).…”

“…The phylogeny of Glomerida as recently recovered by Oeyen and Wesener (2018) , based on morphological evidence alone, shows that both Glomeridella and Typhloglomeris cluster together with some Protoglomeridae and thus form no clear-cut family Glomeridellidae . Moreover, the joint Protoglomeridae + Glomeridellidae clade is not too basal on the tree and, thus, better agrees with our views that the Glomeridellidae is best considered as one of the relatively advanced groups of Glomerida .…”

A new species of glomeridellid millipede is described from Guizhou Province, southern China: Tonkinomeris huzhengkunisp. nov. This new epigean species differs very clearly in many structural details, being sufficiently distinct morphologically and disjunct geographically from T. napoensis Nguyen, Sierwald & Marek, 2019, the type and sole species of Tonkinomeris Nguyen, Sierwald & Marek, 2019, which was described recently from northern Vietnam. The genus Tonkinomeris is formally relegated from Glomeridae and assigned to the family Glomeridellidae, which has hitherto been considered strictly Euro-Mediterranean in distribution and is thus new to the diplopod faunas of China and Indochina. Tonkinomeris is re-diagnosed and shown to have perhaps the basalmost position in the family Glomeridellidae. Its relationships are discussed, both morphological and zoogeographical, within and outside the Glomeridellidae, which can now be considered as relict and basically Oriental in origin. Because of the still highly limited array of DNA-barcoding sequences of the COI mitochondrial gene available in the GenBank, the first molecular phylogenetic analysis of Glomerida attempted here shows our phylogram to be too deficient to consider meaningful.

“…All these pill millipede specimens were determined as members of the Glomerida based on the characteristic head characters of the order. Glomerida can be distinguished from the Sphaerotheriida by the shape of the Tömösváry organ, the insertion point of the antenna and many other characteristics (Oeyen and Wesener 2018). The family classification of the Glomerida is based on the telopods, which currently prevents any more detailed determinations.…”

“…The group is also remarkably absent from the Indian subcontinent (Golovatch and Wesener 2016), with just one species, Bollmaniakohalana (Attems, 1936), from the region of Kashmir, between Pakistan and India (Stoev et al 2008). Despite their interesting distribution pattern, the phylogenetic relationships within Callipodida are largely unresolved, which also holds true for all but five millipede orders (Simonsen 1990; Enghoff 1991; Wesener and VandenSpiegel 2009; Pitz and Sierwald 2010; Oeyen and Wesener 2018). The order is moderately rich, with around 140 known extant species (Stoev et al 2008) grouped into three suborders, eight families, and 36 genera or subgenera (Enghoff et al 2015).…”

The entire Mesozoic Era is rather poor in millipede (class Diplopoda) fossils, with less than a dozen species being taxonomically described. Here, we describe the first fossil millipede of the order Callipodida, Burmanopetaluminexpectatumgen. nov. et sp. nov., found in early Cenomanian amber of Burma, 98.79±0.62 Mya. The species possesses a number of morphological traits that exclude it from all extant suborders, and Burmanopetalidea suborder nov. and Burmanopetalidae fam. nov. are here erected to accommodate it. The new suborder can be recognized by the following unique characters: pleurotergal setae absent; telson with a specific spatulate shape twice the size of the penultimate body ring; hypoproct devoid of setae; and eyes composed of five well-separated ommatidia. While the callipodidan habitus seems to have remained generally unchanged for at least 99 million years, pleurotergal and hypoproctal setation, as well as the complexity of eyes in ground-dwelling forms may have evolved recently in the order. As B.inexpectatumgen. nov. et sp. nov. is the first true callipodidan in the fossil record, the minimum age of Callipodida is thus at least 99 Mya.
