A new and cryptic species of Lissodesmus Chamberlin 1920 (Diplopoda Polydesmida Dalodesmidae) from Tasmania Australia

摘要

Lissodesmuspiscator>sp. nov. differs from the 30 previously described Lissodesmus species in the form of the femoral process of the gonopod telopodite, which is tripartite with an erect distal branch and two posteromedially curving basal branches. Despite careful searching, the new species has only been collected by pitfall trapping and may have a very small range in the northwest corner of the Central Plateau in Tasmania, Australia.
