On several new or poorly-known Oriental Paradoxosomatidae (Diplopoda: Polydesmida), XIII

Abstract

This contribution is devoted to new records of several known, and to descriptions of the following 11 new, species from China: Tetracentrosternus hoffmani sp.n., Tylopus schawalleri sp.n., T. reductus sp.n., Kronopolites rugosus sp.n. and Antheromorpha rosea sp.n., all five from Yunnan, Inversispina trispina sp.n., from Sichuan, Hedinomorpha circofera sp.n., from Qinghai, as well as Anoplodesmus chinenis sp.n., Gonobelus martensi sp.n. and Sellanucheza jaegeri sp.n., all three from Shaanxi Province. In addition, a new genus, Sinomorpha gen.n. (Orthomorphini), is established for S. setosa sp.n., from Sichuan. Keys to all four Tylopus species reported from China, as well as to all four currently known species of Sellanucheza are given, the latter genus being relocated to the tribe Sulciferini, comb.n. The species Hedinomorpha jeekeli (Golovatch, 2009), from Shaanxi, is also relocated as a comb.n. ex Streptogonopus. ÐÅÇÞÌÅ.

“…This species has been described from north of Lijiang, 27°01'N, 100°12'E, 2400 m a.s.l., Yunnan Province, China (Golovatch 2013a). …”

“…This genus belongs to the mainly Southeast Asian tribe Sulciferini in the family Paradoxosomatidae which is one of the largest families in the entire class Diplopoda, dominating the millipede fauna of Indo-Australia (Jeekel 1968, Nguyen and Sierwald 2013). The genus Kronopolites currently contains 10 described species (Golovatch 2013a, 2013b, 2014): Kronopolites swinhoei (Pocock, 1895), the type-species which is widespread in central and southeastern China, Kronopolites acuminatus Attems, 1937, from northern Vietnam, Kronopolites formosanus (Verhoeff, 1939), from northern Taiwan, Kronopolites biagrilectus Hoffman, 1963, from Jiangxi Province, China, Kronopolites fuscocingulatus Jeekel, 1982, from northern Thailand, Kronopolites occidentalis Golovatch, 1983, from the Kashmir Himalaya, India, Kronopolites montanus Golovatch, 2009, from northern Vietnam, Kronopolites rugosus Golovatch, 2013 and Kronopolites davidiani Golovatch, 2014, both from Yunnan Province, China, as well as Kronopolites semirugosus Golovatch, 2013 from Sichuan Province, China.…”
