The millipede genus Trichopeltis Pocock, 1894 contains 12 described species including a new species from southern China described here. Trichopeltis sutchariti sp. n. can be distinguished from congeners by its gonopods that are strongly caudolaterally curved and have a prominent, high, curved, densely setose process on each coxa. An updated checkli...

This study is based on 357 specimens of big-headed flies (Pipunculidae) collected on the
southern shore of Lake Neuchâtel. One hundred fifty-three of these specimens were identified to specieslevel, for a total of 26 species. Six are new records for the Swiss fauna : Cephalops straminipes (Becker, 1900), Dorylomorpha anderssoni Albrecht, 1979, Dory...

... The genus can be characterized by the metaterga distinctly several transverse rows of tuberculations, usually setose, and gonopod usually foliate, with a tripartite or deeply notched telopodite. It encompasses 12 species distributed from the Himalayas of India, through Bangladesh, Myanmar to southern China, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia and Indonesia (Likhitrakarn et al. 2017). At present, 5 species have been known in China, 4 are subterranean-adapted. ...
We synthesized the current knowledge of cave-dwelling millipede diversity from Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (Guangxi), South China Karst, China and described six new millipede species from four caves from the Guilin area, northeastern Guangxi. Fifty-two cave-dwelling millipedes are known for the region consisting of 38 troglobionts and 14 troglophiles. Of the troglobionts, 24 are presently considered single-cave endemics. New species described here include Hyleoglomerisrukouqu sp. nov. and Hyleoglomerisxuxiakei sp. nov. (Family Glomeridae), Hylomusyuani sp. nov. (Family Paradoxosomatidae), Eutrichodesmusjianjia sp. nov. (Family Haplodesmidae), Trichopeltisliangfengdong sp. nov. (Family Cryptodesmidae), and Glyphiulusmaocun sp. nov. (Family Cambalopsidae). Our work also resulted in range expansions of Pacidesmustrifidus Golovatch & Geoffroy, 2014, Blingulussinicus Zhang & Li, 1981 and Glyphiulusmelanoporus Mauriès & Nguyen Duy-Jacquemin, 1997. As with many hypogean animals in Southeast Asia, intensive human activities threaten the persistence of both cave habitats and species. We provide both assessments on the newly described species’ distributions and recommendations for future research and conservation efforts.

Seven new species of Epanerchodus Attems, 1901 are described from caves in southern China: Epanerchodus latus n. sp., Epanerchodus tujiaphilus n. sp., Epanerchodus jiangxiensis n. sp., Epanerchodus coniger n. sp., Epanerchodus parvus n. sp., Epanerchodus gladiatus n. sp. and Epanerchodus chutou n. sp. The first three species are from Chongqing, Hunan and Jiangxi, respectively; the last four are from Guizhou. Additional records, illustrations and descriptive notes are given for the following troglobitic species: Epanerchodus lipsae Golovatch & Geoffroy, 2014, from Sichuan; Epanerchodus soror Geoffroy & Golovatch, 2004, from Yunnan; Epanerchodus stylotarseus Chen & Zhang, 1990, from Guizhou; Epanerchodus varius Geoffroy & Golovatch, 2004, from Hubei, Sichuan and Chongqing; and Epanerchodus draco Geoffroy & Golovatch, 2004, from Yunnan and Guizhou. New records of E. varius from Chongqing and E. draco from Guizhou are documented. A key and distribution maps are provided to all 25 species of Epanerchodus currently known to occur in mainland China.
