Abstract

The milliped fauna of California consists of 11 orders, 24 families, 83 genera, and 226 species and subspecies. A complete listing of these taxa and intergrades is provided, with published and new records from the state and type localities. Cylindroiulus caeruleocinctus (Wood), C. truncorum (Silvestri), Ophyiulus pilosus (Newport) (all Julida: Julidae), and Opiona fisheri Gardner and Shelley (Chordeumatida: Caseyidae) are newly recorded from California. The new combination Atopetholus wheeleri (Chamberlin) is proposed.

Nearly 40 years have elapsed since Buckett (1964) published a listing of California Diplopoda. This work preceded 2 periods of activity on the state's fauna, the first from 1964 through 1975 by Buckett and M.R. Gardner, and the second from 1989 through 1997 by myself. Knowledge of California diplopods is thus significantly advanced over the condition in 1964, to the point that a new checklist is in order. Buckett (1964) documented a fauna of 9 orders, 23 families, 80 genera, and 178 species and subspecies, 126 of which (70.1% of the total) were known only from the type locality; the present contribution documents a fauna of 11 orders, 24 families, 83 genera, and 226 species and subspecies, 78 of which (34.5% of the total) are known only from the type locality. While considerable work has been done on the California fauna, much remains, and this contribution is intended to stimulate future research.

With the publication of this checklist, California becomes the 4th state with a modern milliped listing, the others being Michigan (Snider 1991, an update of an old list by Johnson [1954]), North Carolina (Shelley 2000a), and Florida (Shelley 2001). An earlier publication on Ohio (Williams and Hefner 1928) is now obsolete. In addition, the faunas of eastern and western Canada have been documented (Shelley 1988, 1990), and there are now 2 continental checklists, by Chamberlin and Hoffman (1958) and Hoffman (1999), from which faunal information can be gleaned for California or any other state in the continental United States. Four diplopods—Cylindroiulus caeruleocinctus (Wood), C. truncorum (Silvestri), Ophyiulus pilosus (Newport), and Opiona fisheri Gardner and Shelley—are newly recorded from California. These species plus Brachyiulus lusitanus Verhoeff are European julids that have been imported into urban environments; likewise, the Asian species Oxidus gracilis (C.L. Koch) and the Australian/New Zealand diplopod Akamptogonus novarae (Humbert and DeSaussure) have been introduced into California cities and towns. Generic and/or specific names cannot be provided for certain representatives of the Siphonophoridae (Siphonophorida), Atopetholus (Spirobolida: Atopetholidae), Caseya (Chordeumatida: Caseyidae), Rhiscosomides (Chordeumatida: Rhiscosomididae), and Striaria (Chordeumatida: Striariidae). For Paeromopus angusticeps (Wood) (Julida: Paeromopodidae), and Motyxia sequoia (Chamberlin), Xystocheir dissecta (Wood), and X. stolonifera Shelley (all Polydesmida: Xystodesmidae), I present accounts of intergrades, which are prominent in sections of the state. I also propose the new combination Atopetholus wheeleri (Chamberlin). The format for the accounts provides a citation of the type locality (given as a state or country when not in California), occurrence in California including published and new records, pertinent references, and miscellaneous remarks where appropriate. For new records, locality details are provided when there are 6 or fewer new county records; counties alone are presented when there are more than 6 new counties. Details about junior synonyms should be sought in either Hoffman (1999) or the reference given for the relevant taxa. Acronyms of sources of preserved material are as follows:

Type locality.—San Diego, San Diego County.

Occurrence in California.—Published records: Mendocino and San Diego counties, and “Rosario Mission,” county unknown. New records: None.

References.—Bollman 1887a, 1887b.

Remarks.—This species, listed under “Parajulidae of Uncertain Systematic Position” by Chamberlin and Hoffman (1958) and “Parajulidae of Uncertain Generic Position or Validity” by Hoffman (1999), was described as new twice by Bollman (1887a, 1887b). I cite it here under Parajulus, but undoubtedly it belongs to a different genus, a decision that must await comprehensive studies on western components of the family. In the original descriptions, Bollman reported it from San Diego; Ukiah, Mendocino County; and “Rosario Mission,” which was reported to be in Southern California and “Lower California,” i.e., Baja California. Chamberlin and Hoffman (1958) suggested San Diego as a restricted type locality but did not designate a lectotype.
