Keywords: coleopods, diplopod, gonopods, phallopods 1. Introduction The dual function of millipede male genitalia in sperm displacement and transfer were predicted from the combined examination of the ultrastructures of the male and female genitalia [1-3]. Genitalic structures function do not only in sperm transfer during the time of copulation, but that they perform copulatory courtship through movements and interactions with the female genitalia [4-5]. These 'functional luxuries' can induce cryptic female choice by stimulating structures on the female genitalia while facilitating rival-sperm displacement and sperm transfer. Genitalic complexity is probably underestimated in many species because they have only been studied in the retracted or relaxed state [4].

    Oncept Was Used to Describe Birds Allowing Ants to Climb on Their Body Or the Behavior of Capturing and Rubbing the Ants Against the Plumage

    (2019) 30: 69–71 USE OF MILLIPEDES AS FOOD AND FOR SELF-ANOINTING BY THE PUERTO RICAN GRACKLE (QUISCALUS NIGER BRACHYPTERUS) Raúl A. Pérez-Rivera Department of Biology, University of Puerto Rico-Humacao, Puerto Rico. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract · Although rarely observed in nature, anting is widespread and has been reported in more than 200 species of birds. The concept was used to describe birds allowing ants to climb on their body or the behavior of capturing and rubbing the ants against the plumage. However, the nomenclature of this behavior has been broadened and now is called self-anointing, and includes the use of other animals, such as millipedes (Diplopoda), and even liquids. Here, I describe the Antillean Grackle (Quiscalus niger brachypterus) using millipedes (Trigoniulus coralinus and Anadenobolus monilicornis) for self-anointing and as food. The genus Anadenobolus is reported for self-anointing for the first time. I also observed five grackles, feeding upon the millipede Asiomorpha coarctata, after washing it in water. Possibly, grackles rub the millipedes on their plumage because their secretions may work as ectoparasite repellent or may decrease irritation during molting. The birds ingest these myriapods when food is scarce or because these may help against intestinal parasites.

List of collecting stations, together with general notes on the distribu- tion of Millipedes in eastern Australia and Tasmania C.A.W. Jeekel I. Introduction Owing to their limited possibilities for either active or passive disper- sal, their association with the soil habitat, their vulnerability towards a dry atmosphere, and, in fact, on account of their general ecology and ethology, Diplopoda among arthropods are surely one of the most important classes in relation to the study of historical biogeography. For the class as a whole the sea appears to be an unsuperable barrier as is proved by the almost complete absence of endemic taxa on oceanic islands. In many cases lowland plains also act as severe obstacles against the dis- persal of millipedes. The presence or absence of diplopods on islands or continents, therefore, may give a strong argument in favour or against any supposed former land connection. The long geographical isolation of the Australian continent and the ab- sence of endemic higher taxa seems to imply that most, if not all, of its diplopod fauna dates from the time this continent was solidly attached to other southern continents, i.e.

Zoltán Korsós* Department of Zoology, Hungarian Natural History Museum, Baross u. 13, H-1088 Budapest, Hungary (Received July 12, 2004; Accepted November 5, 2004) Abstract. Fifty-six (56) species of millipedes belonging to ten different orders of Diplopoda are listed as members of the Taiwanese fauna. All literature records are cited, and a number of new records are included as well. Representatives of four millipede orders (Glomerida, Polyzoniida, Siphonocryptida, and Platydesmida) are reported for the first time to the island as a result of recent collections. Nine species, including four undescribed ones, are new records from the island. These are Hyleoglomeris sp. (Glomerida: Glomeridae), Andrognathidae, two undescribed species (Platydesmida), Rhinotus purpureus (Pocock, 1894) (Polyzoniida: Siphonotidae), Siphonocryptidae sp. (Siphonocryptida), Orinisobates sp. (Julida: Nemasomatidae), Spirobolus walkeri Pocock, 1895 (Spirobolida: Spirobolidae), Trigoniulus corallinus (Gervais, 1842) (Spirobolida: Trigoniulidae), and Chondromorpha xanthotricha Attems, 1898 (Polydesmida: Paradoxosomatidae). The Taiwanese millipede fauna consists of 23 endemic species, 17 East Asiatic elements, and 11 synanthropic species. The following new synonymies are established: Glyphiulus tuberculatus Verhoeff, 1936 under G. granulatus Gervais, 1847; Aponedyopus jeanae (Wang, 1957) and A. reesi (Wang, 1957) under A. montanus Verhoeff, 1939; Nedyopus cingulatus (Attems, 1898) under N. patrioticus (Attems, 1898); Three species: "Habrodesmus" inexpectatus Attems, 1944, Orthomorpha bisulcata Pocock, 1895, and O. flavomarginata Gressitt, 1941 are removed from the list of Taiwanese millipedes because of their uncertain taxonomic statuses/unconfirmed occurrences. Descriptions and figures of every species are referred to wherever available to initiate further studies on the Taiwanese fauna.

ABSTRACT Type material of 20 species described in the genus Iulus by Paul Gervais (1837 & 1847) is still preserved in the collections of the Laboratoire de Zoologie-Arthropodes (Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle, Paris, France). This material, examined here, is related, except a single case, to the tropical millipede orders Spirostreptida and Spirobolida. For eight taxa represented only by females or immatures, it is impossible to class them below the level of family or even order: thus Iulus botta can be placed in Iulida; I. lagurus and I. leucopus to Spirostreptida; I. madagascariensis, I. philippensis, I. roseus and I. sumatrensis in Spirobolida. I. vermiformis is a mixing of Polydesmida and Spirostreptida. Five other taxa were reviewed in the recent past; thus Iulus bipulvillatus Gervais, 1847 is a junior synonym of Remulopygus javanicus (Brandt, 1841) (Harpagophoridae); I.

The new species is distinguished by the evident apico- dorsal trichostele on the last tibia of both sexes and the gonopodal telopodite being particularly complex, quadripartite, consisting of the longest, mesal, suberect solenomere branch; a slightly shorter, similarly slender, acuminate endomere branch tightly appressed to the solenomere; a somewhat shorter, caudal, strongly curved, armed exomere process; and a very distinct, low, lateral, sac-shaped velum at their base.
