Millipeds from Jamaican Caves
Abstract
Described from a collection of millipeds of Jamaican caves are a new species of Caraibodesmus and a new genus and species of the family Chytodesmidae. Specimens of a genus and species (Inodesmus jamaicensis) not seen since originally diagnosed in 1896 allowed amplified description, and removal of two other species to a new genus. Young specimens were recognized as members of two families not previously recorded in Jamaica.Downloads
