On several new or poorly-known Oriental Paradoxosomatidae (Diplopoda: Polydesmida), XVI

摘要

This contribution is mainly devoted to descriptions of seven new species of Delarthrum from Nepal: D. beroni sp.n., D. typicum sp.n., D. car-tum sp.n., D. tenuitergale sp.n., D. andreevi sp.n., D. heterotergale sp.n. and D. setosum sp.n. The followingnew synonymies are advanced: Nepalomorpha Golo-vatch, 1994, = Parorthomorpha Golovatch, 1994, = Martensosoma Golovatch, 1992, = Armolites Golovatch, 1984, = Orophosoma Jeekel, 1980, = Delarthrum Attems, 1936, all syn.n. A new diagnosis of and 40 new transfers to Delarthrum (tribe Polydrepanini) are provided, this genus currently encompassing as many as 41 species, mostly Himalayan. In addition, because of homonymy, D. spiniger (Golovatch, 1992) is renamed into D. spinigerum (Golovatch, 1992), nom.n., while Parorthomorpha panda Golovatch, 2009, from north-central China, is newly transferred to Poly-lobosoma Jeekel, 1980, to become Polylobosoma panda (Golovatch, 2009), comb.n. ex Parorthomorpha. Beronodesmus gen.n. is established for B. pallidus sp.n.,the first genus and species of the Oriental tribe Cham-berlinini to be reported from the Himalayas. This tribe possibly also comprises the obscure "Tonkinosoma" jeekeli Nguyen Duc, 2011, from northern Vietnam.
