Myriapoda Millipede Sundaninini new genus new species key Vietnam

Abstract

Pseudosundanina gen.nov. is created to accommodate the species Sundanina falcata Attems, 1937 new combination, which is redescribed from near–typotypic material. In addition, two new species of Sundanina are described: S. medialis sp.nov. from northern and S. cochinchina sp.nov. from southern Vietnam. A key is compiled to all four Sundaninini species currently known from Vietnam.
