Identities of the millipede genera Skleroprotopus Attems, 1901 and Ansiulus Takakuwa, 1940 (Diplopoda: Julida: Mongoliulidae), with emphasis on the postembryonic development of Skleroprotopus coreanus (Pocock, 1895).

Based on a study of postembryonic growth of Skleroprotopus coreanus (Pocock, 1895), the following new synonyms and combinations are proposed: Skleroprotopus Attems, 1901 = Ansiulus Takakuwa, 1940, syn. n., Skleroprotopus coreanus (Pocock, 1895) = Skleroprotopus schmidti Golovatch, 1979, syn.

"Open access" growth histories in millipedes (Diplopoda).

A unique pattern of missing defence glands on certain body rings is described for two species of the millipede family Mongoliulidae, order Julida: Ussuriiulus pilifer Golovatch, 1980, and Koiulus interruptus Enghoff et al., 2017. Based on the patterns of missing glands observed in recently collected samples of the two species, numbers of podous and apodous body rings in successive stadia of the postembryonic development can be inferred for each individual millipede, which in turn allows the reconstruction of pathways of anamorphosis in these species.
