Algeria: 2 „ National Park of Chrea, Wilaya Blida, Djebel Chrea, 1400 m, Vallée station, Cedrus atlantica forest with some Quercus ilex, from pitfall traps, 27 January 1990, Abrous-Kherbouche leg. (MNP)</p> <p>Total material examined. 2 „ Diagnosis. This sample of two males shows characters that seem to be intermediate, in terms of gonopod structure, to C. djebelensis and C. ouridae. The promerite and mesomerite are very similar in length, the mesomerite being just longer. Of the posterior gonopods, the solenomere is very similar to that of C. ouridae. It has a small lamellal-like projection on the mesal side (visible most easily in lateral view) like that of C. ouridae. Projections X and Y are also similar in size and location, although X is of slightly different shape when seen in anterior view. The brachite, however, is unlike that of C. ouridae but similar to C. djebelensis. It is wing-like, consisting of two almost equal parts and in anterior view completely hides the solenomere. The gonopods are also notable for their very large size and very ‘‘open’’ structure.</p> <p>In body size they are probably closer to C. ouridae although the very spiralled and broken condition of the two specimens makes accurate measurement difficult. They are pale in colour but this is probably due to the method of capture. The telson area seems to be more setose than that of C. ouridae. The other notable feature of these specimens is the length of the accessory claw, surpassing the claw by only 25%, shorter than in C. ouridae (71%) or C. djebelensis (66%)</p> <p>The differences between these specimens and C. ouridae are small, just the shape of the brachite tip, and size of the gonopods and length of accessory claw, so they are here regarded as aberrant specimens. When more information is known about the variability in some of the new species described here it may be possible to assign them to a species with more certainty.</p> <p>Other details are given below:</p> <p>Descriptiυe notes. 1 „: 54+2 rings, diameter 2.8 mm, 13 rows of ocelli; 1 „: 55+1 rings, diameter 3.0 mm, 11 rows of ocelli.</p> <p>Colour.

Kabylie region of Algeria (specimens in ZMUC). Externally the species is similar to those described above, although rather smaller in size than most. The gonopods differ by the presence of a large paracoxal process that is apparently spinose at the apex and it is thus unlike any of the species of the C. distinctus group. The posterior gonopods are described by Attems (1908) as ‘‘quite simple’’, but the tip of the solenomere does bear a small projection (a brachite?). Interestingly, there is a small, thin flange on the solenomere, reminiscent of projection X. For the present time, however, the presence of a paracoxal process places this species outside the group.</p> <p>Cylindroiulus lohmanderi (Schubart, 1932)</p> <p>Syntypes of this species, from Tanger, Morocco were examined (ZMB No. 5568, leg. Collin, 2 „, 3♀). It was originally described as Solaenoiulus lohmanderi but the monotypic genus was synonymized with Cylindroiulus by Read (1990). The millipedes externally resemble those of the Cylindroiulus distinctus group. The gonopods, however, were not so easy to examine. One set is mounted on a slide and being thick they are not easy to see when mounted. The opisthomerite of one half is broken, that of the other closely resembles the drawing by Schubart (1960). There is another male that has been dissected and the gonopods are not slide mounted. Half of the gonopods are badly twisted and may also be partly broken. The other half has part of the opisthomerite broken and although it resembles that of the drawn gonopod it does not look completely identical. The gonopods that are not slide mounted show similarities with the C. distinctus group. There is a very high paracoxal rim and no paracoxal process. There seems to be a brachite that is separate from the solenomere. The brachite does seem to be forked and in postero-mesal view expanded slightly apically, which is not apparent from the drawing by Schubart. Also not figured in the original drawing is a small projection on the solenomere in lateral view, perhaps corresponding to projection X. These details of the brachite and solenomere are not distinguishable on the slide-mounted gonopods.</p> <p>In conclusion, Cylindroiulus lohmanderi may belong to the C. distinctus group. However, more specimens in better condition would be desirable before it is possible to be sure. There may be more specimens from the type series in Brazil (where it is known that part of Schubart’s collection is now kept) but it has not been possible to establish this for certain.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/462F704036561063FF1F0A48D6C0DE67	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
