Chilopoda Geophilomorpha of Europe: a revised list of species, with taxonomic and nomenclatorial notes

摘要

An annotated list is provided for the genera and species of Chilopoda Geophilomorpha recorded from Europe, including Macaronesia. The list derives from a critical evaluation of all published information. All synonyms are also listed and all taxonomicand nomenclatorial novelties are discussed. Additionally, all available genus-group and species-group names are listed, together with type species and type localities respectively.To date, 452 available species-group names and 95 available genus-group names have been applied to European geo-philomorphs, together with another 10 unavailable names. A total of 179 species in 37 genera are provisionally recognized here, but the actualtaxonomic identity of 84 of these species is uncertain because their morphology is incompletely or imprecisely known. Another 5 species have been recorded from European localities but probably are not established in the wild, and another 8 species havebeen reported probably only erroneously.
