E-mail: [email protected] Received 24 November 2020 │ Accepted by V. Pešić: 9 December 2020 │ Published online 24 December 2020. Abstract A checklist of Isopoda Oniscidea (Crustacea) from Bulgaria (16 families, 33 genera, 81 sp.) is provided, together with an analysis of the cave species and of the inhabitants in the neighbouring territories. Key words: Isopoda Oniscidea, Bulgaria, Checklist. Introduction The research on Isopoda Oniscidea in Bulgaria First data on the terrestrial Isopoda from Bulgaria we find in the article of Hristovich (1892) where two species are mentioned (Oniscus murarius = O. asellus and Porcellium scaber). None of these are included in the modern list of Oniscidea from Bulgaria. Chichkoff (1912) mentions one more species among the inhabitants of the Bulgarian littoral of Black Sea. The specialized study of this suborder in Bulgaria started with K. Verhoeff, who published several articles on it (Verhoeff, 1926, 1929, 1936), arriving to a number of 27 species and describing five new genera and 15 new species (now valid). Méhely (1929) added Hyloniscus rilensis from Rila. The material has been sent to these authors by Dr Ivan Buresch, collected by him and by his team mostly from caves. Some myrmecophilous isopods, together with ants, have been collected by N.

  • An Annotated Catalogue of the Millipede Order Julida (Diplopoda) in Bulgaria
    Historia naturalis bulgarica, An annotated catalogue of the millipede order Julida... 35 18: 35-63, 2007 An annotated catalogue of the millipede order Julida (Diplopoda) in Bulgaria Boyan VAGALINSKI, Pavel STOEV VAGALINSKI B., STOEV P. 2007. An annotated catalogue of the millipede order Julida (Diplopoda) in Bulgaria. – Historia naturalis bulgarica, 18: 35-63. Abstract. The paper presents the first catalogue of the millipede order Julida (Diplopoda: Helminthomorpha) in Bulgaria. The order is currently known to comprise 3 families (Blaniulidae, Nemasomatidae and Julidae), 21 valid genera, 51 species and 3 subspecies in the country. Another 11 species and the genus Thachypodoiulus were quoted probably erroneously for Bulgaria. Archiboreoiulus pallidus and Megaphyllum dentatum were reported without mention of their exact localities, and have never been found since. All relevant literature sources are given for each species group taxon with exact pages; detailed distribution by geographical regions; as well as a list of habitats where the species was found in the country; altitudinal range; chorotype; and sometimes additional remarks. New data, among which the second and third finds in the country of Megaphyllum anatolicum denticulatum and Brachyiulus bagnalli, respectively, are given for 19 species. The paper also provides brief analysis about the habitat preferences and zoogeographical affinities of Bulgarian julids. Key words: Myriapoda, Julidae, Blaniulidae, Nemasomatidae, review, distribution, habitats, Bulgaria Introduction The study of the millipedes of order Julida in Bulgaria began with CHRISTOVICH (1892) who reported Iulus sabulosus from the Vitosha Mts. In the next fifty years julids found in Bulgaria were mentioned in the papers of ATTEMS (1904), JURINICH (1904), VERHOEFF (1926a, 1926b, 1928, 1937), SCHUBART (1934), LANG (1935, 1958) and JAWLOWSKI (1938).
