文档介绍：Re, WeS!. A"". Mus. 1992. 15(4): 777-7X4 A new genus and two new species of millipedes from the Cape Range, Western Australia (Diplopoda, Polydesmida, Paradoxosomatidae) William A. Shear* Abstract Two new species of millipede. Boreohesperus capensis. gen nov .? sp. nov .? and Antichiropus humphreysi. sp. novo (Polydesmida. Paradoxosomatidae) are described from cave and epigean localities on the North West Cape. Western Australia. The former represents the first record of the Tribe Australiosomatini from Western Australia. Introduction The millipede fauna of Western Australia was last examined in a more or prehensive way by Attems in 1911. He recorded 17 diplopod species in four families, all of them described as new. Seven of these species were paradoxosomatids, and six of them were placed in his new genus, Antichiropus. He also described as new Orthomorpha triaina. which we now know to be a synonym of Akamptogonus novarae (H umbert and de Saussure), a synanthropic species, probably from eastern Australia but now established in New Zealand, Hawaii, and California, USA (Jeekel 1981; Hoffman 1980). Verhoeff described Helicopodosoma. with two new species (1924; Attems 1937; Jeekel 1968). More recently, as a result of an intensive effort to explore the caves of the semi-arid North West Cape region, additional paradoxosomatid taxa e to light. Living in these caves as troglobites are
