Abstract


A new genus and species of chelodesmid millipedes, Caucadesmus lucreciae gen. et sp. nov., is described from Popayán, Cauca Department, Colombia. This genus is classified within the Alocodesmus group of the tribe Batodesmini. Additionally, the taxonomic position of Cormodesmus Chamberlin, 1923, within Batodesmini, is revised based on newly collected material from the type locality of Cormodesmus hirrutellus Chamberlin, 1923.
