A Third Luminous Milliped, Motyxia Tiemanni, N. Sp. (Xystodemidae THE WASMANN JOURNAL OF BIOLOGY VoL. 18, No. 1 SPIUNG, 1960 A Third Luminous M illiped, Motyxia tiemanni, n. sp. (Xystodemidae: Polydesmida) NELL B. CAUSEY, Fayetteville, ATkansas. 1'he phenomenon of luminescence is known to occur in only three species of millipeds, of which all are North American mem­ bers of the family Xystodesmidae. It could be a character of some other little-known species, for most of them were collected during dayli<Yht hours and put immediately into a preservative. A very promising· area to search for luminescent forms is the Sierra Je­ vada range of California, where there are several ·pecies that are congeneric with two of the species now known to be luminescent. F'ontcwia l1tminosa Kenyon was described from specimens col­ lected at Omaha, Nebraska, and also reported at Lincoln, Ne­ braska. It has not been seen by a diplopodologist since it was described. F'ontaTia is not the correct genus, o topoty1 es should be collected and the species redescribed. Its luminescence was reported to be whitish, "more marked at one time than another," and the source to be round, yellow areas about 1 mm. in diameter, of which there is one near the lateral margin of the dorsal sur­ face of each paranotum; in the darkness, the animal resembles a "double series of small beads of fire . crawling about among the dead leaves" (Kenyon, 1893 ). In the other two luminescent species, Luminod e sm1~s sequoiae Loomis and Davenport and Motyxia tienwnni, new specie , the body surface, the legs, and the antennae glow with a constant greenish white light. Davenport, Wootton, and Cushing (1952) found that the luminescence appear in L . sequoiae immediately after hatching and is present even when the larvae are molting. They suggest that the source of it is possibly in the deeper integu­ mentary layers. [ 131 ] 133 THE W ASMANN JOURNAL OF BIOLOGY, Vol. 18, 1960 Lurninodesrnus sequoiae is known only from the type locality, Camp Nelson, Sequoia ational Forest, Tulare Cmmty, Califor­ nia. Luminescent larvae of uncertain position have been collected at Kaweah, which i · 30 miles north of Camp Nelson (Loomis and Davenport, 1951). The generic position of L. seqtwiae is prob­ lematic: on the basis of the somatic and econdary sexual charac­ ters it should go into the genus Motyxia, but on the basis of the four-pron()'ed o-onopods it seems to belong in Xystocheir. Loomis and Davenport (1951) set up the genus Lurninodesrnus for it, but Chamberlin and Hoffman ( 1958) rejected this genus and moved "sequoiae" to X ystocheir. I have never seen it. Its position prob­ ably will not be satisfactorily solved until a 'tudy of the 20 Cali­ fornia species assigned to the closely related genera Cheir-auxus, Arnplo cheir, Delo cheir·, Lurninodesmus, Motyxia, and Xystochei'r has been made. Too little attention has been given to the somatic characters and the probable homologies of the prongs of the gono­ pods of most of these species. Motyxia tiemanni Causey, new species. (Figures 1 and 2.) DIAGNOSIS. A luminescent species distinguished by the details of the gonopods, especially the nearness of the prongs to each other; the seminiferous prong is spinous and slightly curved, and the other two are longer, expanded, flattened, and directed cephalad. TYPE LO ALI'l.'Y. Shirley Meadows, Sequoia ational Forest, Kern County, California. The area of greatest concentration is at an altitude of about 6,700 feet, in deep humu · t hickly shaded by ferns, Ribes sp., Pseudotsuga sp., other conifers, and black oaks. Two collections with a total of about 75 mature specimens were made in l\Iay and in November, 1959, by Mr. Darwin Tiemann. Most of the specimens in the May collection were male ·. In the November collection, females, most of which were gravid, greatly outnumbered the males. TYPE SPECIMEN·. Male holotype and female paratype: Ameri­ can Museum of Natural History, ew York.

DE CRIP'l.'ION OF MALE HOLOTYPE. Greatest body width 5.6 mm., length about 30 mm. Dorsum light yellow, shading to orange on the paranota; prozonites grayish yellow; black middorsal line intermittent; head, antennae, legs and venter cream color. All body surfaces and appendages except the sterna and the gonopods are luminescent; the luminescence is brightest on the thickened lateral margins of the paranota and weakest on the prozonites. The collum is slightly narrower than the tergite of the second seg­ ment; both the anterior and posterior margins are rounded, and the lateral angles are depressed slightly and broadly rounded. Segments 2, 3, and 4 have the paranota, directed obliquely for­ ward, those of segments 5 through 15 project laterad, and from segments 16 through 19 they are caudally directed. Paranota of middle body segments are about as wide as they are long, and the two lateral angles are rounded almost equally. Space between paranota about one-half the length of the paranota in life. Caudal angles of all paranota rounded. Paranota of segment 19 very small, exceeded by the paranota of segment 18. Caudal tergite straight, narrowly truncated. Dorsum slightly arched, the para­ nota of all segments continuing the slope of the dorsum. Beginning with the first segment, there are a very few indistinct, scattered pustules; progressing caudad, the pustules are more numerous, especially along the caudal margin of the metazonites; they are most numerous on segment 16, where there are about 18 in the marginal row and about that many more scattered irregularly on the metatergite. Legs slender, with the prefemoral spines hooked and the longest ones about half the length of the prefemurs; no coxal spines. Sterna broad, ·mooth, with a slight indication of a sternal peg adjacent to the second legpair of mo t diplosomites. Between the third pair of legs there is a pair of short sternal pegs; the coxal segment of these legs is slightly enlarged on the mesial surface. Between the fourth pair of legs there i · a pair of longer, broader, triangular sternal processes; the coxal segment of these legs has no lobe. In situ the gonopods are directed cephalad and are contiguous along the midbody line, where they lie flat in a depression in the sterna of the fifth and sixth segments. The mesiodorsal prong, or 134 THE WASMANN JOURNAL OF BIOLOGY, Vol. 18, 1960 the prefemoral branch, is rounded at the apex and broader and slightly longer than the ectoventral prong, or tibiotarsus (fig. 1). A small lobe at the base of the ectoventral prong (fig. 2) possibly is homologous with the fourth prong of L. sequoiae. The spinous prong is the solenomerite. l?EMALE PARA'l'YPE. Greatest body width 6.8 mm., length about 36 mm. Somatic characters as in the male except that the dorsum is more highly arched, the paranota are slightly smaller, the para­ nota of segments 2, 3, and 4 are bent forward a little more, the Figure 1. Right gonopod of male holotype of Motyxia tiemanni, mesial view. (Setae omitted.) Figure 2. Subectal view of same. A THIRD LUMINOUS MILLIPED-CAUSE1' 135 sterna are a little broader, and the legs are slightly shorter and thinner. Between the third pair of legs there is a pair of small, triangular sternal lobes. Third sternum with no median lobe on the margin of the vulvar opening. Vulvae relatively small, thickly setose. and without a fing·erlike lobe. VARIATIONS. Body width varies from 5 mm. to 6.1 mm. in the male and from 6 rom. to 7 mm. in the female. There is also some variation in the ·ize of the sternal processes anterior to the gono­ pods. The nineteenth segment may be almost completely covered by the eighteenth. REFERENCES CITED CH.UIBERLI •, R. V., and RICHARD L. HOFFlliAN 1958. Checklist of the millipeds of North America. U. S.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract In the New World, the milliped family Platyrhacidae (Polydesmida) is known or projected for Central America south of southeastern Nicaragua and the northern ¼ of South America, with disjunct, insular populations on Hispaniola (Haiti), Guadeloupe (Basse-Terre), and St. Lucia. Male near-topotypes enable redescription of Proaspis aitia Loomis, 1941, possibly endemic to the western end of the southern Haitian peninsula. The tibiotarsus of its biramous gonopodal telopodite bends strongly laterad, and the medially directed solenomere arises at midlength proximal to the bend. With a uniramous telopodite, P. sahlii Jeekel, 1980, on Guadeloupe, is not congeneric, and Hoffmanorhacus, n. gen., is erected to accommodate it. Nannorrhacus luciae (Pocock, 1894), on St. Lucia, is redescribed; also with a biramous telopodite, its tibiotarsus arises distad and diverges from the coaxial solenomere.

    Apheloria polychroma, a new species of millipede from the Cumberland Mountains (Polydesmida: Xystodesmidae) PAUL E. MAREK1*, JACKSON C. MEANS1, DEREK A. HENNEN1 1Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Department of Entomology, Blacksburg, Virginia 24061, U.S.A. *Corresponding author, email: [email protected] Abstract Millipedes of the genus Apheloria occur in temperate broadleaf forests throughout eastern North America and west of the Mississippi River in the Ozark and Ouachita Mountains. Chemically defended with toxins made up of cyanide and benzaldehyde, the genus is part of a community of xystodesmid millipedes that compose several Müllerian mimicry rings in the Appalachian Mountains. We describe a model species of these mimicry rings, Apheloria polychroma n. sp., one of the most variable in coloration of all species of Diplopoda with more than six color morphs, each associated with a separate mimicry ring. Keywords: aposematic, Appalachian, Myriapoda, taxonomy, systematics Introduction Millipedes in the family Xystodesmidae are most diverse in the Appalachian Mountains where about half of the family’s species occur. In the New World, the family is distributed throughout eastern and western North America and south to El Salvador (Marek et al. 2014, Marek et al. 2017). Xystodesmidae occur in the Old World in the Mediterranean, the Russian Far East, Japan, western and eastern China, Taiwan and Vietnam. Taxa include species that are bioluminescent (genus Motyxia) and highly gregarious (genera Parafontaria and Pleuroloma); some form Müllerian mimicry rings. Despite their fascinating biology and critical ecological function as native decomposers in broadleaf deciduous forests in the U.S., their alpha-taxonomy is antiquated, and scores of new species remain undescribed.

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.

    Phylogenetic revision of the genus Cherokia (Chamberlin, 1949) (Polydesmida: Xystodesmidae) Luisa Fernanda Vasquez-Valverde Thesis submitted to the faculty of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Entomology Paul Marek Robin Andrews William Shear May 7, 2021 Blacksburg, VA Keywords: Cherokia, phylogenetics, subspecies, morphology. Phylogenetic revision of the genus Cherokia (Chamberlin, 1949) (Polydesmida: Xystodesmidae) Luisa Fernanda Vasquez-Valverde Academic Abstract The family Xystodesmidae (Polydesmida) includes 521 species with a center of diversity concentrated in the Appalachian Mountains. Within this family, the genus Cherokia, a monotypic taxon with the type species Cherokia georgiana, is divided into three subspecies. The last revision of this genus was made by Richard Hoffman in 1960. Here, I used morphological and molecular data sets to review the genus, and evaluate whether it is a monophyletic group. I included material from literature records and three natural history collections. Newly collected samples were obtained through a citizen science project. Morphological characters such as the shape of the paranota, body size, and coloration were evaluated. Seven gene loci were used to estimate a molecular phylogeny of the genus, and a species delimitation analysis was used to evaluate the status of the subspecies. The geographical range of Cherokia was expanded to include a newly reported state (Virginia) and ca. 160 new localities compared to the previously known range. Morphological characters such as the shape of the paranota and body size that were historically used to establish subspecies, showed a direct relation with geographical distribution and elevation (clinal variation), but not with the phylogeny.
