A classe Diplopoda corresponde a cerca de 12.000 espécies nominais. Indivíduos desta classe estão associados a quase todos os estratos do solo, contribuindo de maneira eficiente para a ciclagem de nutrientes. Algumas espécies são consideradas pragas agrícolas, amplamente distribuídas atráves de atividades humanas. No Brasil, são conhecidas 12 espécies introduzidas, com grande parte dessas originarias da Ásia e difundidas principalmente na região sudeste do país. Dentre essas, destacam-se Oxidus gracilis (C.L. Koch) e Orthomorpha coarctata (Saussure) (Polydesmida, Paradoxosomatidae), registradas para quase todas as regiões do Brasil, e Trigoniulus corallinus (Gervais) (Spirobolida, Pachybolidae), de ocorrência para o Norte, Nordeste e Sudeste. No entanto, mesmo essas sendo amplamente distribuídas, nenhuma tem registro até o momento para o estado do Maranhão. Nesta perspectiva, o presente trabalho tem como objetivo registrar pela primeira vez no estado do Maranhão a ocorrência destas espécies a partir de coletas em áreas urbanas do município de Códo, região ao leste do estado, durante os meses de janeiro e fevereiro de 2023. De modo geral, os indivíduos foram encontrados enterrados em camadas mais superficiais do solo ou associados a poças de água próximas da serrapilheira. A região apresenta grande diversidade vegetal, mas sem nenhuma unidade de conservação formulada até o momento, além de sofrer atualmente com o avanço de atividades extrativistas e de Silvicultura, podendo acarretar a perda da diversidade biológica em áreas ainda quase que inexploradas em relação a fauna.

Recently, the problem of preserving biodiversity on the planet has become increasingly relevant. Therefore, research on the ecological characteristics of organisms that play an important role in the functioning of biogeocoenoses is especially relevant. Chilipoda millipedes are one of these groups. Currently, many questions on the ecology of Chilopods, especially in the territory of Albania, remain unresolved. This motivates researchers to seek answers to these issues. The primary research aim is to analyse the specific features of the ecology of the Chilipoda millipedes inhabiting Vlora. The material used for the study was the author's collections of centipedes. Manual collection and soil sampling methods were used in the research. Determination of the taxonomic affiliation of centipedes was performed by examining the morphological features of centipedes under a stereoscopic microscope and further determining specimens with the help of determination keys. In the field under investigation, the Chilipoda fauna is represented by 6 species from 4 orders, 6 genera, and 5 families. Temperature and humidity have been shown to have a significant influence on the geographical distribution of chilopods: thus, the occurrence of centipedes in litter and the upper soil layer decreases significantly with the onset of drought. The character of flora plays a secondary role in the distribution of centipedes. It was established that soils with high content of humus and nitrogen are a favourable habitat for centipedes. The paper presents, for the first time for the Vlora region, data on the vertical distribution of S. coleoptrata along the soil profile. Scootigers preferred litter and did not migrate into the soil. Other representatives of Chilipoda were mainly found in the uppermost soil layer (0-10 cm), moreover Chilipoda were concentrated in the litter, and only a small part of them descended to a depth of 20 cm. The obtained results contribute to the knowledge of the ecological features of chilopods
