  • Apheloria Polychroma, a New Species of Millipede from the Cumberland Mountains (Polydesmida: Xystodesmidae) PAUL E. MAREK1*
    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.
