Hidden biodiversity in the Iberian Mesovoid Shallow Substratum (MSS): New and poorly known species of the millipede genus Archipolydesmus Attems, 1898 (Diplopoda, Polydesmidae)

摘要: Abstract Systematic sampling of the Mesovoid Shallow Substratum (MSS) at several sites in three regions Iberian Peninsula has revealed two new and one very poorly known species genus Archipolydesmus Attems, 1898 . These are first records MSS, although had previously been recorded from caves southern Spain. foliatus sp. nov. shows inter-population variability between different mountain massifs province Alicante, as well intra-population some sites; A. altibaeticus exclusively inhabits MSS highest screes Sierra Nevada (3000 masl) Granada, it closely resembles maroccanus ; North Africa; bedeli ( Brolemann, 1902 ) only re-collected once since its description, male, hitherto unknown, is described here. Detailed SEM documentation main characters each provided, a discussion on implications these findings provided. Also, distribution map, an updated key to English, brief review millipedes found
