The significant taxonomic characters of the millipede family Striariidae Bollman, 1888 are discussed. The monotypic genus Vaferaria Causey, 1958 is synonymized under Amplaria Chamberlin, 1941, giving the new combination Amplaria imberbis (Loomis, 1936). The genera Striaria Bollman, 1888 and Amplaria are assigned to the subfamily Striariinae. A new subfamily, Trisariinae, is established that presently includes only Trisaria new genus, with three new species: Trisaria rex, T. olympia and T. washingtonensis. The new subfamily, genus, and species are endemic to western Washington state, USA.

The family Dalodesmidae Cook, 1896 in the fauna of Madagascar is reviewed and shown to presently encompass eight species in three genera: Cook, 1896 (six species), Brölemann, 1916 (one species), and de Saussure & Zehntner, 1897 (one species). These genera are diagnosed, and their respective species keyed, all being endemic to Madagascar proper and/or the immediately adjacent islets of Nosy Be and/or Nosy Sakatia. currently contains six species, including two new, all supplied either with brief descriptive notes and available iconography or extensive descriptions and new illustrations, as follows: (Brandt, 1841), from an unspecified locality in Madagascar, now redescribed from a male specimen from Makira, northeastern Madagascar; (Attems, 1898), from Nosy Be Isle; Hoffman, 1974, from Ambohimitombo, central Madagascar; Cook, 1896 (= (de Saussure & Zehntner, 1897), ), originally described from an unspecified locality in central Madagascar, with a male type and additional males identified as recorded from the Andasibe National Park (= Périnet) in east-central Madagascar.

The identity of Striaria californica Cook, described in 1899 from a single female, is established on the basis of additional specimens collected by Cook in 1929 and determined to be that species by Loomis (1936) as well as specimens from the San Francisco Bay region, likely to be from near the original collection locality. We propose Amplaria californica (Cook, 1899) new combination. A new genus, Bayaria Shear & Marek n.

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.
