SHELLEY1 & DANIELA MARTINEZ-TORRES2 1Research Laboratory, North Carolina State Museum of Natural Sciences, MSC #1626, Raleigh, NC 27699-1626 USA. E-mail: [email protected] 2Instituto de Ciencias Naturales,Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Edificio 425, Oficina 105, Bogotá, Colombia. 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. -

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.

The extant species of millipedes and centipedes distributed (2016). Other records of millipedes have been mentioned across Mexico have been studied since the initial reports in the literature but are questionable because of a lack of Brand (1839) and Persbosc (1839). -

Michael C. Jorgensen1, 2 Abstract A new species of polydesmidan millipede of the family Euryuridae, Eury- urus lecythanoictes, is described. Another millipede of Euryuridae, Illiniurus beattyi Shear, is considered to be an aberrant specimen and therefore not a true species. The family taxonomic history of Euryuridae is briefly covered with a discussion of gonopod anatomy. -
Post-Insemination Associations Between Males and Females in Diplopoda

Abstract B) Electron Microscope Unit & Here I review the most common form of mate-guarding (prolonged copulation) in the Diplopoda. The ten Structural Biology Research predictions for mate-guarding in Insects are compared using Diplopod examples and evidence in favour Unit, University of Cape Town, of 7 of Alcock’s (1994) predictions (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8) was found. Future research on mate-guarding in South Africa. the Diplopoda may test 2 untested predictions (7 and 10). The last prediction (9) cannot be tested as millipedes are non-territorial. Keywords: diplopod; mate-guarding; mating; millipede; post-insemination 1. Introduction Of the diversity of post-insemination associations between the sexes in the insects [1], prolonged copulations dominate in the diplopods [2-21]. In most species, males maintain genital contact far beyond the time needed only for insemination of the female. There is preliminary evidence for mating plugs where males transfer secretory materials that seal or hinder access to a female’s reproductive tract [22]. There is no mate grasping and mate monitoring in the Diplopod as there is in the insects [1]. The only alternative hypothesis is the possible prevention of rival ejaculates from competing with sperm already donated to a partner. -

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. -

Zoological Studies 51(7): 913-926. For the 1st time in the order Sphaerotheriida, daily activities of the giant pill-millipede Zephronia cf. viridescens Attems, 1936 (family Zephroniidae) were studied. In 2009 and 2010, an investigation was conducted during the rainy season (May-Sept.), the period when millipedes are most active, in a deciduous forest at Wiang Sa District, Nan Province, Thailand. From a total of 20 observation periods of 1 d each, 16 males and 23 females were marked with acrylic paint on the anal shield, and each was optically observed in its natural habitat every 30 min for 24 h. Key visually discernible activities of each individual, such as feeding, walking, mating, and resting, were recorded. -
