A bibliographic review of the Chelodesmidae of the Antilles and Bahamas (Diplopoda: Polydesmida).

Among millipede groups found in the Antilles, the family Chelodesmidae is the most species diverse and well represented in collections. However, to date, there has not been a bibliographic review of the family for the region. Here we compile and review the literature for the Chelodesmidae of the Antilles and the Bahamas, clarify the family's status for the region, and discuss the central deficits of its taxonomy and the most relevant obstacles for work in the group.

Check list of the Venezuelan millipedes species.

Here we provide a checklist of millipedes described or recorded in the literature from Venezuela. The diplopod fauna is comprised of eight orders, 18 families, 54 genera, and 157 species. The millipede orders Glomerida, Chordeumatida, Julida, Siphoniulida, and Platydesmida (known elsewhere in the Western Hemisphere) are not, as of yet, reported from the Venezuelan fauna.
