The first record of Polydesmus inconstans Latzel, 1884 (Diplopoda: Polydesmida: Polydesmidae) in the Asian part of Russia

Abstract

Based on the latest review of the anthropochore millipede fauna of Asian Russia, 9 species from 7 genera, 5 families and two orders of Diplopoda are known to occur there as anthropochore introductions [Nefediev et al., 2014]. The present record of the polydesmid millipede, Polydesmus inconstans Latzel, 1884, which is new to the millipede fauna of the Asian part of Russia, increases the number of invasive diplopod species in the territory to ten. РЕЗЮМЕ. Согласно последнему обзора антропохорной диплоподофауны азиатской части России на данной территории известно о 9 интродуцированных человеком видах из 7 родов, 5 семейств и двух отрядов Diplopoda [Nefediev et al., 2014]. Настоящая находка многосвяза Polydesmus inconstans Latzel, 1884, который оказался новым для азиатской части России, увеличивает количество инвазивных видов двупарноногих многоножек этой территории до десяти.

Centipedes from urban areas in southwestern Siberia, Russia (Chilopoda). Part 2. Geophilomorpha

“…Most of the study geophilomorph species inhabit city parks, botanical gardens and open man-made grounds in southwestern Siberia, being widespread across Eurasia and representing natural components in the centipede fauna of the investigated area. However, urban scutigeromorph, scolopendromorph and lithobiomorph centipedes [Nefediev et al, 2016b, c, d], as well as urban millipedes [Nefediev et al, 2013[Nefediev et al, , 2014[Nefediev et al, , 2016a recorded from southwestern Siberia are mainly related to anthropochore introductions.…”

New records of millipedes (Diplopoda) from European Russia and Abkhazia, Caucasus

“…REMARK. This species is quite common in parklands and deteriorated forest habitats of central European Russia (Lokshina, 1969;Zalesskaja et al, 1982;Golovatch, Matyukhin, 2011;Kime, Enghoff, 2011), introduced to western Siberia (Nefediev et al, 2016). REMARKS.…”

New records of millipedes (Diplopoda) from European Russia and Crimea

“…REMARKS. This common pan-European species (widely introduced to the Nearctic and western Siberia) is widespread across European Russia, inclined to dwelling in anthropogenic habitats and ranging from the Kaliningrad Region in the north and west to the Saratov Region and Bashkortostan in the east and southeast (Lokshina, 1969;Kime, Enghoff, 2011;Nefediev et al, 2016).…”
