New species of the family Julidae Leach 1814 from Altai, Russia (Diplopoda, Julida)

摘要

Three new species of the millipede family Julidae Leach 1814 are described from the Republic of Altai, Siberia, Russia: Julus azarovae sp. n., Julus insolitus sp.n. and Sibiriulus rectangulus sp.n. This paper continues research on the Altai millipedefauna, particularly on the material of Diplopoda from the unexplored places of Altai housed in the collections of the Perm State University, Perm, Russia. The material appears to be particularly important, for it contains species new to science. The present contribution describes three of these new species, all in the family Julidae. A historical account of research on the Altai diplopod fauna was recently provided by Mikhaljova et al. (2008).
