NOV. (MYRIAPODA: CHILOPODA: GEOPHILOMORPHA) Luis ALBERTO PEREIRA ABSTRACT .XCION1 Ityphilus betschí sp. nov. from French Guiana, (Chilopoda: Geophilomorpha: Ballophilidae) is here described and illustrated on the basis ofthe male holotype and a non-type female speci- men. The new species is characterized by having the infernal edge ofthe forcipular tarsungulum partially serrate; ventral pore-frelds present along the entere body length; and aü pore-fields un- divided. It is compared in detail witb the other Neotropical members ofthe genus sharing these three combíned traits, and having a roughly similar range ofleg-bearingsegments, i.e., I. crabilli Pereira, Minelli & Barbieri, 1994 (from Brazil); I. demoraisi Pereira, Minelli & Barbieri, 1995 (from Brazil); I. guíanensis Chamberlin, 1921 (from Guyana, Brazil, Trinidad); I. per- rieri (Brolemann, 1909) (from Brazil); and I. saucius Pereira, Foddai &t Minelli, 2000 (from Brazil). Complementar^ notes for these íatter species are also given. Undiluted 2-Phenoxyethanol (CAS No. 122-99-6) has been used as an ejfective clearing agentlmounting médium for theprep- aration oftemporary mounts ofallbodyparts ofthe examined spetimens, The discovery ofthe new species here described represents thefirst record ofthe family Ballophilidae from French Guiana.

A total of 71 species in 26 genera, 13 families in four orders, Scolopendromorpha, Geophilomorpha, Lithobiomorpha and Scutigeromorpha, has been recorded from Vietnam. Four genera, Tonkinodentus, Alluropus, Anopsobiella and Megalacrus, are monotypic; and twenty-two species and sub- species are known only from Vietnam. Distribution data for each species is provided here to promote further studies on the centipede fauna of Vietnam. Key words: checklist, centipedes, Chilopoda, Vietnam Introduction Located in the tropics of Southeast Asia, Vietnam is considered as a part of the Indo-Burmese biodiversity center (Sterling et al., 2006).

Littoral Myriapods: a Review
SOIL ORGANISMS Volume 81 (3) 2009 pp. 735–760 ISSN: 1864 - 6417 Littoral myriapods: a review Anthony D. Barber Rathgar, Exeter Road, Ivybridge, Devon, PL21 0BD, UK Abstract Representatives of many terrestrial arthropods groups including myriapods (Pauropoda, Symphyla, Diplopoda and Chilopoda) have been recorded from sea shore habitats. The Chilopoda, notably the Geophilomorpha, have a relatively large number of species from different genera and locations around the world which have been recorded as halophilic. Silvestri (1903) referred to accidentali, indifferenti and genuini and these categories would seem to be useful although there are some species which appear to be halophilic in one region but found inland elsewhere . In a survey of relevant literature, problems have occurred in identifying species as halophiles because of lack of precision of habitat details. There seem to be features of geophilomorphs which pre-adapt them to a littoral habitat and to be able to survive transportation in seawater. This could lead both to wide distribution and the occurrence of isolated populations. Keywords: Myriapoda, seashore, species, adaption 1. Introduction The first record of a halophilic myriapod seems to be that of Leach (1817), describing Strigamia maritima (as it is now known) as ‘Habitat in Britannia inter scopulos ad littoral maris vulgatissime’. Johnston (1835) reported Strigamia accuminata as common in Berwickshire (Scotland), ‘especially on the sea shore’ and it seems highly probable that in the latter case he may have actually been referring to S. maritima . Parfitt (1866) reported the rediscovery of the species at Plymouth; other early records are from Sweden, Helgoland, Norway, Denmark and Northern France (Hennings 1903) and from Ireland (Pocock 1893).
