Review of the millipede genus Hedinomorpha Verhoeff, 1934, with descriptions of three new species collected in China by Professor Jochen Martens (Diplopoda, Polydesmida, Paradoxosomatidae)

Abstract

Hedinomorpha martensorum spec. nov., H. jaegeri spec. nov. and H. sympatrica spec. nov. are described, the former species from Qinghai Province, and both latter ones occurring syntopically in Shaanxi Province, China. A brief description and a new diagnosis of Hedinomorpha, a key to its 24 species presently known, and a map showing their distributions are provided. The affinities of Hedinomorpha within the tribe Sulciferini are discussed.
