“…The genus Phryssonotus (family Synxenidae) is recorded from the Upper Cretaceous amber of France (Nguyen Duy-Jacquemin & Azar, 2004). Lowermost Upper Cretaceous (Upper Albian/Lower Cenomanian) amber of Myanmar recorded 14 orders, one suborder, 15 families, 14 genera, and 13 species (Cockerell, 1917;Liu et al, 2017;Zhang, 2017;Ross, 2018;Wesener & Moritz, 2018;Jiang et al, 2019;Stoev et al, 2019;Su et al, 2020;Moritz & Wesener, 2021;Su et al, 2022).…”

We present a comprehensive catalog with an updated database of the fossil record of Diplopoda in the world. Taxonomic data was collected from descriptions and reports published from 1854 to the present. We also include new records from the Lower Miocene Mexican amber, counting 83 unknown fossil inclusions, with the first records of the orders Polyxenida, Platydesmida, and Julida, as well as the families Sphaeriodesmidae and Trichopolydesmidae within Polydesmida. According to our results, Diplopoda comprises 217 fossil records from the Middle Silurian to Upper Pleistocene, representing three subclasses, six superorders, 25 orders, one superfamily, 54 families, 90 genera, and 156 fossil species. To date, no fossils of the order Siphonocryptida have been reported. The fossil record extends over three geological eras: the Paleozoic, with 156 records; the Mesozoic, with 51; and the Cenozoic, with 77. The fossil preservation includes 87 impressions, 68 compressions, 108 amber inclusions, and 19 ichnites. Thus, this catalog allows us to estimate the size and taxonomic composition of Diplopoda in the fossil record worldwide.

“…Only a few macropolydesmid genera are found in Asia and Indochina including Epanerchodus Attems, 1901, Pacidesmus Golovatch, 1991, Polydesmus Latreille, 1802–1803, Nipponesmus Chamberlin & Wang, 1953, Gleninea Turk, 1945, Jaxartes Verhoeff, 1930, Schizoturanius Verhoeff, 1931, and Uniramidesmus Golovatch & Mikhaljova, 1979 ( Golovatch 1991 ; Geoffroy and Golovatch 2004 ; Mikhaljova 2004 ; Golovatch and Geoffroy 2006 , 2014 ; Golovatch et al 2007 ; Nguyen 2009 ; Antić et al 2019 ; Liu and Golovatch 2020 ). In addition, a fossil species of the rather small western to central European genus Propolydesmus Verhoeff, 1895 has recently been described from the mid-Cretaceous amber of Myanmar (burmite, 99–100 Mya) ( Su et al 2023 ).…”

The millipede family Polydesmidae Leach, 1816 is reviewed in the scope of the Vietnamese fauna. The distribution of the species, Polydesmus vietnamicus Nguyen, 2009 is extended northward to Ha Giang Province. A new cavernicolous polydesmid, Pacidesmus tuachuasp. nov., is described from two caves in northwestern Vietnam, representing the first record of the genus from Vietnam. Extensive illustrations and DNA barcodes are provided for both species, a revised key is presented to all 12 species of Pacidesmus Golovatch, 1991, as well as a key to all eight genera of Asian Polydesmidae.

“…To date, a total of 10 genera and 13 species of Myriapoda have been described from Burmese amber. Except for one species of Symphyla, 12 species in 7 orders and 9 genera of Diplopoda are documented (e.g., Moritz & Wesener, 2018;Jiang et al, 2019;Ross, 2019Ross, , 2021Ross, , 2023Su et al, 2021Su et al, , 2022Su et al, , 2023.…”

Two new species of the millipede family Siphonorhinidae, Siphonorhinus globosus sp. nov. and Siphonorhinus peculiaris sp. nov., are described from the mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber. Detailed morphological characters are provided on the basis of 22 specimens, mainly using confocal laser scanning microscopy. The new species can be confidently placed in the extant genus Siphonorhinus based on the head lacking a beak-like rostrum, antennae stout and elbowed; antennomeres 5 and 6 each with a field of basiconic sensilla, and gonopods leg-like, with apical podomere of posterior gonopod divided to two branches. A detailed comparison between the new and extant species is given.
