Millipeds of the order Colobognatha, with descriptions of six new genera and type species, from Arizona and California

Abstract: An additional genus, Gosodesmus Chamberlin, related to Brachycybe, was described in 1922 from southern California. Its characters are given at the end of this paper.. Another member of this family was found still farther north in California, in November, 1926, while the paper was awaiting publication, so that two new genera ol Siphonophoridae are included.

“…He did not give a specific locality, but its occurrence at Seattle and Bremerton, Washington (Cook 1904;Cook and Loomis 1928;Chamberlin and Hoffman 1958) suggests discovery around Vancouver, where it can now be confirmed. Its known distribution in Canada is west of the Cascade Mountains in the southwesternmost comer of the mainland along the border with the United States, extending northward less than 40 km (25 mi) into the country (Fig.…”

“…Further solutions include the 42 or more legs of the scolopenders, and the ca. 730 of Illacme plenipes, the millipede species that most closely approximates the nominal target of 1,000 (Cook and Loomis 1928). But snails and slugs demonstrate that you do not need to have legs, if you want to move on dry substrate, and snakes show that this option is also available to vertebrates, including many species several meters long.…”

“…It is commonly found in aggregations of adults and juveniles beneath bark (Figure 1B, C) (hence the specific name corticarius ). A diagnostic feature of the species is the shape of the paranota of the fifth body ring, which are bilobed with the ozopores elevated on stalks and directed anteriorly (Figure 2A) (Cook and Loomis 1928). The known range of A.corticarius extends from the panhandle of Florida, north into southern Indiana and Pennsylvania (Figure 3).…”

“…Andrognathuscorticarius has not been found in these formations. The families Andrognathidae and Platydesmidae are differentiated solely by the morphological trait of narrow sternites that make the coxae appear to be nearly contiguous in andrognathids (Cook and Loomis 1928; Enghoff et al 2015). However, proximity of coxae may be a homoplasy, and based on a recent phylogenomic analysis of the Diplopoda, the genera Platydesmus and Brachycybe are more closely related to one another than either is to Andrognathus thereby indicating non-monophyly of the family Andrognathidae (Rodriguez et al 2018).…”
