Folkmanová (1946) mentioned 3 ɗ found in the valley of the Zbiroh Stream and 2 ɗ and 1 Ψ found in the valley of the Berounka River. This original material of Lithobius parvus Folkmanová, 1946 is lost, most probably destroyed during World War II. Material examined. 1 ɗ, 12.8.1997, Devĕt Mlýnû, Podyjí National Park (NP), Moravia, Czech Republic, leg. & det. L. J. Dobroruka, found in the SMMZ collection. This specimen designated here by Dobroruka, currently deposited in the NMP collection (a neotype).	en	Tuf, Ivan Hadrián, Wytwer, Jolanta, Tajovský, Karel (2008): On the identity of the species described in the genus Lithobius Leach, 1814 by L.

0392AA42FFCEFFE834C4FF32570D856C.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This species was repeatedly recorded by Dobroruka from several Czech localities (Dobroruka 1956, 1988, 1998; Verner 1959), as well as from the BiałowieŻa National Park, Poland (Dobroruka 1988), also referred to on two further occasions as L. parvus (Folkmanová 1954, Folkmanová et al. 1955). The species Lithobius parvus was described by Folkmanová (1946) and distinguished from Lithobius lucifugus L. Koch, 1862 based on the smaller body size (6 – 7 mm), the lower number of ocelli (6 – 8), the shorter antennae (31 – 36 articles), the absence of VT and DF spines on the enlarged last legs, and the darker colour of the head. Later, she considered this taxon as possibly a subspecies of L. lucifugus due to the discovery of intermediate forms (Folkmanová 1954; Folkmanová et al. 1955). So Dobroruka (1956) referred to it as the subspecies L. lucifugus parvus while Folkmanová (1959) repeated this in her key. Borek (1967), however, reevaluated the variability of L. lucifugus and recognized L. parvus as a “ good ” species with a less strongly developed chaetotaxy of the male and female gonopods. Borek used his own material for his study and he revealed a narrower range of variation than found by Folkmanová. In addition, Borek failed to use all of Folkmanová’s papers related to the variability of this species. Later, also Dobroruka (1988, 1998) recognized this taxon as a bona fide species. Since the name L. parvus Folkmanová, 1946 had been preoccupied by L. parvus Verhoeff, 1901, it was duly replaced by corrigendus Dobroruka, 1988. The re-examined specimen identified by Dobroruka is an immature male. The spinulation of its last legs is D: 1,0,3,0,0 and V: 0,1,3,3,0 and the antennae have 39 and 36 articles. The absence of a 15 DF spine is also common in L. lucifugus (Latzel 1880), so there is no reason to consider it as a species different from L. lucifugus. Taxonomic note. Lithobius corrigendus Dobroruka, 1988 (= Lithobius parvus Folkmanová, 1946) is just another of the numerous junior subjective synonyms of Lithobus lucifugus L.

0392AA42FFCEFFE934C4F9BD51AC81F1.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This taxon was described in Dobroruka’s paper on Lithobius erythrocephalus C. L. Koch, 1847 (Dobroruka 1962) and it has never been recorded since then. The differences from the nominal subspecies were stated as lying in the larger size (19 – 22 mm), the weak sulci on the 14 th and 15 th male tibiae and the very smooth female spurs. The re-examined material was badly damaged, as almost all the legs were broken off. However, part of the 15 th male leg was recognized and a very shallow sulcus was evident on the tibia. The length of these specimens is only 12 – 15 mm, yet the body may have become contracted as a result of drying up. In L. erythrocephalus C. L. Koch, 1847, Eason (1972) mentioned intrapopulation variability of the male secondary sexual characters on both last pairs of legs. In addition, there are no differences between the shape of female spurs on the gonopods as depicted by Dobroruka (1959: 105) and Eason (1972: 143). Eason (1972) noted that the shape of the tibia of male legs is not a valid character for establishing any subspecies. Taxonomic note.

0392AA42FFCFFFEE34C4FD3F53F28262.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This species has never been recorded since its original description; only once included in a key by Folkmanová (1959). The main characters of this species were as follows: the presence of two short dorsal sulci in one line on the 15 th tibia, one long dorsal sulcus on the 14 th tibia of the male, and the second segment of the female gonopods dorsally with three long and stout setae. The spinulation of the 15 th leg as stated by Dobroruka was D: 0,0,1,0,0, V: 0,1,3,2,0. None of the examined specimens had an intact 15 th pair of legs, but two detached legs in the same tube were recognized as the 15 th. Comparing the shape of the second segment of the female gonopod with that shown in fig. 2 in Dobroruka’s (1958 a) paper, we find some differences. This segment in the figure was narrower and more elongated than what the sample showed. The female gonopods of the study specimens were clothed with long hairs on the dorsal and dorsolateral sides, something not illustrated by Dobroruka. The re-examined material differed also in several other characters: the femur of one of the detached 15 th legs was thickened and dorsally gently flattened, but the tibia was without 2 sulci and the prefemur was dorsally with 2 spines instead of one. We were not able to recognize any sulci on the 14 th male tibia, but only a modest depression resembling the situation observed in Lithobius tenebrosus Meinert, 1872. The dorsal spinulation on the 15 th leg (D: 1,0,2,0,0) of the restudied specimen also differed from that mentioned in the description, but the pattern observed fell well within the variation range of L. tenebrosus (cf Berg & Evenhuis 2001). Taxonomic note. The non-type specimens labeled as L. evae sp. n. in Dobroruka’s collection turned out to be Lithobius tenebrosus Meinert, 1872. Most of the characters given by Dobroruka correspond also to this species. Also the key character for L. evae which was the two sulcus in one line, could be rather the result of irregularity in the depression, particularly that only one male was in the type material. Summing up above deliberation, we consider Lithobius evae Dobroruka, 1958 as a junior subjective synonym of Lithobius tenebrosus Meinert, 1872, syn. n.	en	Tuf, Ivan Hadrián, Wytwer, Jolanta, Tajovský, Karel (2008): On the identity of the species described in the genus Lithobius Leach, 1814 by L.

0392AA42FFC8FFEE34C4FE8F50C98667.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Material of M. homolaci was collected by Dobroruka in different places of Slovakia. Beside the type material, Dobroruka (1971) referred to this species another 37 specimens (22 ɗ, 15 Ψ) from some other localities in the Spišská Magura Mts, as well as from the Belanské Tatry Mts. He also mentioned 1 ɗ from the Little Carpathians and 1 Ψ from the environs of the town of Bardejov, suggesting an even wider distribution of M. homolaci in Slovakia. This species was established based on the combination of the low number of ocelli (2 – 4), the antennae with a high number of articles (28 – 35), the last legs with the spinulation pattern of D: 0,0,2,0,0 and V: 0,1,2,1,0, and with doubled claws. However, the re-examined holotype showed 5 ocelli. The last 2 pairs of legs are thickened. The spinulation of the 14 th legs was D: 0,0,2,0,0 and V: 0,1,2,1,0, this being identical to the pattern observed in Lithobius burzenlandicus Verhoeff, 1931 (cf Matic 1966). L. burzenladicus differs in the presence of the 15 th DC spine, but this character appears to be variable in some populations, for example in Lithobius burzenlandicus carinthiacus Koren, 1992 (Koren 1992). Since L. burzenlandicus has 3 – 6 ocelli and 24 – 38 antennomeres, both Dobroruka’s description and all the characters noted by us during the re-examination of the holotype are in accordance with the diagnosis of L. (S.) burzenladicus Verhoeff, 1931. Taxonomic note.

The original description of L. magurensis was based on the holotype (ɗ), in the NMP collection, and 1 paratype (Ψ), mentioned as deposited in the collection of Dobroruka. Material examined. The holotype was restudied. Neither the paratype nor the other specimens of this species referred to in the original descriptions were found in Dobroruka’s collection.	en	Tuf, Ivan Hadrián, Wytwer, Jolanta, Tajovský, Karel (2008): On the identity of the species described in the genus Lithobius Leach, 1814 by L.

0392AA42FFC8FFEF34C4FA8D509082AA.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Apart from the type material, only 3 Ψ of L. magurensis were recorded by Dobroruka in the Podyjí NP, Czech Republic. The diagnosis of this species was based on a combination of the following characters: tergites without projections, a single claw on the last legs, and several specific sexual features of the 14 th and 15 th male legs. These were a dorsal sulcus on the 14 th femur and a swelling with a tuft of setae on the 14 th tibia. The tibia of the 15 th leg was stated as being flattened, with a sulcus on the femur as well. However, the re-examined holotype differed fundamentally from Dobroruka’s description. The spinulation of the 14 th legs is D: 1,0,3,1,1 instead of 1,0,1 - 2,0 - 1,0 while the spinulation of the 15 th legs is D: 1,0,3,0,0 instead of 1,0,2,1,0. The 14 th tibia shows a thin sulcus, as well as a swelling. In addition, the head is broad, resembling that of L. muticus C. L. Koch, 1847. The spinulation pattern found falls well within the variation range of L. muticus as described by Latzel (1880), Eason (1964) and Koren (1992). Although thin sulci are not commonly met with in the available descriptions of this species, specimens of L. muticus from Central Europe, at least those from the Czech Republic, do show these characters (cf Folkmanová 1959). Two Ψ in the material from the SMMZ collection identified and labelled by Dobroruka as L. magurensis are in fact 1 Ψ of L. muticus and 1 immature ɗ of Eupolybothrus tridentinus (Fanzago, 1874).

0392AA42FFC9FFEF34C4FDF7509F8697.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The species was included into Folkmanová’s (1959) key and has been recorded since only by Dobroruka (1977) from “ Vřešt’ovská Ba ž antnice ”, near the town of Hořice, NE Bohemia. In the original description, Dobroruka (1957) compared L. purkynei with the species Lithobius nigrocullis Folkmanová, 1928, Lithobius aulacopus Latzel, 1880 (= Lithobius macilentus L. Koch, 1862), Lithobius agilis sesianus Verhoeff, 1937 (= Lithobius agilis C. L. Koch, 1847), Lithobius simrothi Verhoeff, 1937 (= Lithobius tenebrosus Meinert, 1872) and Lithobius palmarum Verhoeff, 1934. Two main characters were given for L. purkynei: ventroprefemoral (VpF) spines starting from the 8 th (5 th) legs, and presence of 4 “ black ” ocelli. The re-examination of the damaged type material showed a higher number of barely recognizable ocelli, ranging between 5 and 7. Besides this, Dobroruka (1957) suggested that, in L. aulacopus, the VpF spines started from the 1 st to 3 rd legs. Yet, according to Eason (1964), they start from the 4 th pair of legs. Matic (1966) noted that spinulation varied and sometimes VpF was present from the 8 th pair of legs. Thus, the spinulation pattern of L. purkynei falls well within the variation range observed in L. macilentus. All other characters of L. purkynei mentioned by Dobroruka also correspond to L. macilentus. Taxonomic note. We consider Lithobius purkynei Dobroruka, 1957 as a junior subjective synonym of Lithobius macilentus L.

0392AA42FFC9FFEC34C4F98250B3817A.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Lithobius pusillus Latzel, 1880 was synonymized with L. lapidicola Meinert, 1872 by Eason (1982). Dobroruka characterized his taxon in two papers. At first he considered 2 ɗ as atypical specimens of L. pusillus (Dobroruka 1956), but later, after a study of the third ɗ, Dobroruka (1959) described them all as a new subspecies. The main distinguishing characters mentioned by Dobroruka were the spinulation of the 15 th prefemur 1 / 3 (whole leg D: 0,0,1,0,0, V: 0,1,3,1,0, respectively) and the antennae with 25 (2 ɗ) or 30 articles (1 ɗ). The number of antennomeres in the original description of L. lapidicola by Meinert (1872) varies from 26 to 40, from 21 to 33, according to Latzel (1880). The spinulation of the last legs in the course of development grows from D: 0,0,0,0,0 to D: 1,0,2,0,0 (Latzel 1880). However, Dobroruka found the same 15 th leg spinulation formula as he described in his new subspecies shared also with a specimen of L. lapidicola from the same locality (Dobroruka 1959). Anyway, the absence of prefemoral spines on the 15 th legs seems to be insufficient to distinguish subspecies. Taxonomic note.

0392AA42FFCAFFEC34C4FDA7518884D7.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Dobroruka (1971) later reported this species from some other localities in the Belanské Tatry Mts in Slovakia (2 ɗ) and from near the towns of Nový Byd ž ov and Králíky in Bohemia (4 ex., Dobroruka 1977). After that L. tatricus was recorded also at high altitudes in Poland, i. e. Roztoka and Świstówka valleys in the Tatra Mts (Kaczmarek 1979). This species has since been found also in the Podyjí NP (7 ɗ and 1 Ψ) by Dobroruka (1998), as well as in the Giant Mountains in Bohemia (Tajovský 2000; as L. cf tatricus). The distinguishing feature of this species is a slight sulcus on the tibia of the 14 th and 15 th legs of males. In the original description, Dobroruka (1958 b) compared his new species with Lithobius salicis Ver ho e ff, 1925, Lithobius maximovici Folkmanová, 1946 (= Lithobius lucifugus L. Koch, 1862, sensu Schubart 1964) and Lithobius subtilis Latzel, 1880, with L. tatricus differing from them by having the following combination of characters: 27 – 38 antennomeres, 9 – 13 ocelli, VpF spine starting from the 2 nd or 3 rd legs, the 2 nd article of the female gonopods with 5 dorsal setae, and the last legs with a spinulation pattern of D: 0,0,2 - 3,0 and V: 0,1,3,2 - 3,0 and double claws. Again some disagreement between the spinulation as observed in the re-examined material and as given in the original description is noteworthy. There are DCa and VTa spines on the last legs. This pattern is typical of Lithobius mutabilis L. Koch, 1862. In addition, the dorsal side of the 14 th tibia in one of the males shows an indistinct swelling with a trace of setae behind the tuft, also resembling the condition characteristic of the male of L. mutabilis. This corresponds with the presence of weak sulci on the 14 th and 15 th tibiae. These features can be found in PL 6 stage of L. mutabilis (Fründ 1983). Summarizing, all the features mentioned in the original description of L. tatricus to separate it from congeners appear to be the characters which occur in immature stages of L. mutabilis. Taxonomic note. We consider Lithobius tatricus Dobroruka, 1958 as a junior subjective synonym of Lithobius mutabilis L. Koch, 1862, syn. n. Some more recently obtained material of L. tatricus (Tajovský 2000) has also been revised and assigned to L. mutabilis as well.	en	Tuf, Ivan Hadrián, Wytwer, Jolanta, Tajovský, Karel (2008): On the identity of the species described in the genus Lithobius Leach, 1814 by L.

0392AA42FFCBFFED34C4FF4750B880A7.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Dobroruka (1958 a) described this subspecies later the same year as he described L. tatricus, with not a single record of L. t. monounguis ever since. Originally, this subspecies was distinguished based on a single claw on the last legs, the presence of a ventral spine on the 15 th tibia and of VpF spines starting from the 5 th legs. The re-examined material was damaged, with the last legs broken off. Nevertheless, we were able to find the rest of a detached 14 th leg showing a sulcus on the tibia. If this specimen had truly one claw on the last legs, its spinulation and secondary sexual characters would resemble those of Lithobius latro Meinert, 1872 (cf Koren 1992). The low number of antennomeres and ocelli (5 in examined material) are also typical of immature L. latro (cf Latzel 1880). Taxonomic note. We consider Lithobius tatricus monounguis Dobroruka, 1958 as junior subjective synonym of Lithobius latro Meinert, 1872, syn. n.	en	Tuf, Ivan Hadrián, Wytwer, Jolanta, Tajovský, Karel (2008): On the identity of the species described in the genus Lithobius Leach, 1814 by L. J. Dobroruka from the former Czechoslovakia (Czech and Slovak Republics) (Chilopoda: Lithobiomorpha). Zootaxa 1788: 37-46, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.182511
