First record of the millipede genus Nesorthomorpha Jeekel, 1980 in Vietnam with description of a new species (Diplopoda, Polydesmida, Paradoxosomatidae).

The genus Nesorthomorpha Jeekel, 1980 is recorded in Vietnam for the first time based on the discovery of the new species Nesorthomorpha montana n. sp. from the Highlands of Vietnam. An identification key to the new and 8 previously known Nesorthomorpha species is also provided. The relationship between the new species and 9 other species of 5 genera of the tribe Orthomorphini was analyzed using a 500 base pair fragment of the mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene. The result indicates that the new species appears to be closely related to the genus Orthomorpha.
