Millipedes are terrestrial uniramian antennate and mandibulate arthropods whose bodies are made up of a chain of numerous segments. The appendages of the first body segment just behing the head (collum) are absent.
The authors investigated the eyes of adult Phryssonotus platycephalus (Synxenidae) and Polyxenus lagurus (Polyxenidae) by light and electron microscopy.
A review is given of the diplopod fauna of Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, with special reference to that of the periodically inundated areas of the Pantanal.
The authors collected and studied 1605 isopod individuals (eight species) and 671 diplopod individuals (17 species) in four primeval forests of the Western Carpathians, Central Slovakia, by leaf litter extraction.
The authors conclude that localization of cyclopropane fatty acids in the millipede Graphidostreptus tumuliporus is not restricted to the eggs and one particular organ, but bulk amounts are found in all tissues.
