Myriapoda Vietnam Paradoxosomatidae Anoplodesmus new species

Abstract

Two new species of the genus Anoplodesmus are described: A. borealis sp. nov. from northern Vietnam, and A. solenophorus sp. nov. from southern Vietnam. Both these species belong to the group showing an extremely long solenomere and strongly reduced paraterga. A key to all three Anoplodesmus species currently known from Vietnam is presented.
