“…Based on a female, he later (1 893) recorded the milliped from Winona, Minnesota, a misidentification of another conotylid, as noted by Cook and Collins (1895) when they transferred the species to Conotyla. Chamberlin (1920) described Conotyla albertana from the Bow River, Alberta, which was restricted to the vicinity of Lake Louise, Banff National Park, by Shear ( 197 1).…”

Metaxycheir pacifica, a new chonaphine xystodesmid milliped from Vancouver Island, British Columbia, inhabits decidous spots in the forests along the Pacific Ocean from Bamfield to China Beach Provincial Park. It displays a subcylindrical body, imparted by reduced paranota caudal to segment 4; an acropodite in the form of a broad, open loop; and an acicular prefemoral process with minute subapical barbules. It is segregated from the type species, M. prolata Buckett and Gardner, in northern Idaho, by over 600 km, and is the second western Canadian xystodesmid. The tribe Chonaphini occupies five areas of allopatric populations: that of M. pacifica; from central Oregon to western Montana; and three areas in the north central and eastern states. The Pacific coastal region harbors the most diverse fauna of western Canada, and a second center of diversity lies around Mount Revelstoke and Glacier national parks. The diplopod fauna of Alaska and western Canada consists of at least 5 orders, 13 families, 22 genera, and 24 species; of these, 5, 10, 16, and 17 are indigenous forms and 2, 4, 6, and 7 are introductions, respectively. The chordeumatoid family Rhiscosomididae and the genus Rhiscosomides are new to Canada; five allochthonus species, Cylindroiulus caeruleocinctus (Wood), Ophyiulus pilosus (Newport), Oxidus gracilis (C. L. Koch), Brachydesmus superus Latzel, and Polydesmus inconstans Latzel, are new to the western provinces; and the Polyxenidae (Polyxenida) and Caseyidae (Chordeumatida) are new to Alaska.

This paper complements a similar one in this issue for the Centipedes (Chilopoda) and Symphyla. The diplopod fauna of Canada, as currently known, is briefly discussed and the relevant literature is summarized. The main body of the paper comprises a classified checklist of species, with their recorded distribution, known to occur in Canada and the adjacent United States of America, together with a few others from a little farther south that might conceivably be anticipated. Over 60 species are listed for Canada and Alaska, together with about the same number of additional species hitherto known only as far north as those states immediately south of the international boundary. The European Archiboreoiulus pallidus (Brade-Birks) is recorded for the first time from North America.

“…It came from Mammoth Cave, in Kentucky. The following year, Cope (1872) placed this species in his new genus Scoterpes, and Harger (1872) named another new genus, Trichopetalum, for his own new species T. lunatum, collected in New Haven, CT (Harger's Trichopetalum iuloides is a caseyid of the genus Underwoodia Cook & Collins, 1895). A third new genus and species, Zygonopus whitei, was added in 1881 by Ryder; the specimens were found in Luray Caverns, Virginia.…”

“…The systematics and distribution of the Trichopetalidae prior to this study can be summarized in the following list, largely based on the recent checklist of North and Middle American millipeds by Hoffman (1999) Trichopetalum appropinquo (Causey, 1969): Washington Co., Maryland T. cornutum Cook & Collins (1895): Michigan and Indiana, SW to North Carolina. T. dux (Chamberlin, 1940): Durham Co., North Carolina T. krekeleri (Causey, 1960): Randolph, Tucker Cos., West Virginia (caves) T. lunatum Harger (1872): NE North America T. montis Chamberlin (1951): Sevier Co., Tennessee T. packardi (Causey, 1960): Virginia, West Virginia (caves) T. quadratum (Loomis,1966: Prince Georges Co., Maryland T. stannardi (Causey,1951) In addition to the new species described herein and in planned subsequent parts, several changes in the classification have resulted from detailed study.…”

“…They implied that Scoterpes, Zygonopus and Trichopetalum, all of which they recognized as distinct, were closely related to Conotyla, one of their new genera. Cook and Collins (1895) also included Packard's (1883) enigmatic Polydesmus ocellatus as Trichopetalum(?) ocellatum, but this species, described from Oregon, must not be a trichopetalid; Hoffman (1999) suggested a rhiscosomidid identity, which certainly fits the description.…”
