On Mexican Millipeds BULLETIN OF THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH Vol. 34 October 28, 1943 No. 7 On Mexican Millipeds BY RALPH V. CHAMBERLIN BIOLOGICAL SERIES, Vol. VIII, No. 3 PUBLISHED BY THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH SALT LAKE CITY ON M EXICAN MILLIPEDS * By R a l p h V. C h a m b e r l i n This contribution toward knowledge of the diplopod fauna of Mexico is based primarily upon the extensive and important collec­ tions made during the last few years by Dr. F. Bonet of the Escuela Vacional de Ciencias Biologicas and Dr. 0. Bolivar of the Instituto Enfermadades Tropicales of the Instituto Polytecnico Nacional. The chilopods of this same collection were reported upon in an earlier bul­ letin (Bull. Univ. Utah, Biol. Series, Vol. 7, No. 3, 1943). In addi­ tion to the material brought together by Drs. Bonet and Bolivar and associates, I have included in the present study a valuable collection ini ide by B rvce C. Brown during 1942, and have listed as well certain species collected by Harry Hoogstraal and associates on recent expe­ ditions (1939-1941) and a few taken by Mr. Phil Rau. In Humbert and Saussure’s “Etudes sur les Myriapodes” in the Mission Scientifique au Mexique (1872), 54 species are listed from the country, and in Pocock’s treatise on the group in the Biologia Centrali- Americana 121 species are catalogued as known at that time, 48 of these being described as new. In comparison the importance of the collection here surveyed may be indicated by noting that it embraces 131 species of which 95 are described as new and only three of which are included in Pocock’s list. The total number of species of millipeds now known from Mexico is in the neighborhood of 300. This number, however, is obviously far from complete, and it is therefore felt best to defer revisional work, much needed in the case of several genera and families, pending the accumulation of more ample material, especially from sections at present but poorly represented. The recent accelera­ tion of field work involving this group, particularly under the effective stimulation of Drs. Bonet and Bolivar, has been such that its continua­ tion should render a revision and adequate monograph of the millipeds of Mexico an early possibility. * Published by means of funds appropriated by the University of Utah Research Committee.

Corresponding author: Francisco Riquelme, [email protected] Abstract An inventory of fossil millipedes (class Diplopoda) and centipedes (class Chilopoda) from Miocene Chiapas amber, Mexico, is presented, with the inclusion of new records. For Diplopoda, 34 members are enumerated, for which 31 are described as new fossil records of the orders Siphonophorida Newport, 1844, Spirobolida Bollman, 1893, Polydesmida Leach, 1895, Stemmiulida Pocock, 1894, and the superorder Juliformia Attems, 1926. For Chilopoda 8 fossils are listed, for which 3 are new records of the order Geophilomorpha Pocock, 1895 and 2 are of the order Scolopendromorpha Pocock, 1895. Key words Miocene, Mexico, Diplopoda, Chilopoda.

    United States National Museum ^^*fr?*5j Bulletin 212 CHECKLIST OF THE MILLIPEDS OF NORTH AMERICA By RALPH V. CHAMBERLIN Department of Zoology University of Utah RICHARD L. HOFFMAN Department of Biology Virginia Polytechnic Institute SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION • WASHINGTON, D. C. • 1958 Publications of the United States National Museum The scientific publications of the National Museum include two series known, respectively, as Proceedings and Bulletin. The Proceedings series, begun in 1878, is intended primarily as a medium for the publication of original papers based on the collections of the National Museum, that set forth newly acquired facts in biology, anthropology, and geology, with descriptions of new forms and revisions of limited groups. Copies of each paper, in pamphlet form, are distributed as published to libraries and scientific organizations and to specialists and others interested in the different subjects. The dates at which these separate papers are published are recorded in the table of contents of each of the volumes. The series of Bulletins, the first of which was issued in 1875, contains separate publications comprising monographs of large zoological groups and other general systematic treatises (occasionally in several volumes), faunal works, reports of expeditions, catalogs of type specimens, special collections, and other material of similar nature. The majority of the volumes are octavo in size, but a quarto size has been adopted in a few in- stances. In the Bulletin series appear volumes under the heading Contribu- tions from the United States National Herbarium, in octavo form, published by the National Museum since 1902, which contain papers relating to the botanical collections of the Museum.

  • Polydesmida: Trichopolydesmoidea
    Myriapodologica A SERIES OF OCCASIONAL PAPERS PUBLISHED BY THE VIRGINIA MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY ISSN 0163·5395 Vol. 2, No. 11 February 19, 1993 Harpagonopus conf!uentus Loomis, a Pacific Coast milliped of the United States and Mexico (Po/ydesmida: Trichopo/ydesmoidea) By Rowland M. Shelley ABSTRACT The monotypic milliped genus Harpagonopus and its sole component species, H. connuentus Loomis, occur along the Pacific Coast from the vicinity of Santa Barbara, California, to Colonel, Baja California Norte, Mexico, a distance of some 620 km (386 mi). The range extends about 72 km (45 mi) inland in San Diego County, but most specimens have been taken within a few miles of the ocean, particularly in coastal canyons. Harpagonopus is assigned to the polydesmoid superfamily Trichopoly­ desmoidea, but its family position is uncertain; there are no detectable synapomorphies with representatives of the Nearctodesmidae in the Pacific Northwest. Past taxonomic accounts are reviewed, and gonopod drawings and a distribUtion map are presented. NARRATIVE The diplopod fauna of southern California, with its deserts and otherwise generally arid environments, lacks many of the faunal elements found north of Big Sur. Excepting the family Parajulidae (order Julida), which has been poorly studied throughout its range and whose composition there is unknown, the most diverse southern California group is the order Spirobolida, represented by 2 families, 8 genera, and around 15 nominal species: Spirobolidae, Hiltonius (about 3 species) and Tylobo/us (2 species) (Keeton 1960, 1966); and Atopetholidae, Arinolus (1 species), Atopetholus (about 3 species), Onychelus (1 species), Orthichelus (1 species), Tido/us (1 species), and Scanned with permission by Virginia Tech Insect Systematics Group 2014 (www.jointedlegs.org) 74 Myriapodologica Watichelus (about 3 species) (Hoffman & Orcutt 1960).
