description: Flagellobolus pauliani Wesener, 2009
Material examined. 1 M, FMNH-INS 3196511, Madagascar, Nosy Manampaho, 11 m, island grass, 12°48’32.1’’S, 49°52’05.9’’ E, SMG19476.
Remarks. The record of this characteristic species at Nosy Manampaho, far away from the known records of distribution at Andasibe and Anjozorobe (Wesener et al. 2009; Spelzhausen et al. 2020) is surprising. A DNA extraction for genetic barcoding unfortunately failed.

Remark s. This relatively widespread species, one of the few non-endemic millipede species from Madagascar (Wesener & Enghoff 2022), is commonly found in disturbed coastal forest in northern Madagascar (see also Wesener & Anilkumar 2020).

Remarks. So far, the most widespread species of the genus. Genetic barcoding of this population was successful. Unfortunately, it is the only sequence available for members of the Spirobolellidae from Madagascar.

description: The Oxypoda fauna of Armenia
Including the material listed below and the records provided by ASSING (2016), the known Oxypoda fauna is presently composed of at least 22 species. Six of the 20 named species are currently known only from Armenia. Thirteen species are reported from Armenia for the first time. The material collected during two recent field trips to Armenia also includes 69 specimens of Baeoglena THOMSON, 1867. This subgenus is currently in a state of taxonomic confusion and a reliable identification of its species is not possible. For distribution maps of recently described species not illustrated in Maps 1-2 see ASSING (2016).

The adult males of the species can be easily identified based on the shape of the dark, well chitinized aedeagal lobe bearing 2–3 stout spines medially (Fig. 1 A, B). The species was described and illustrated in Pagast (1947) and Serra-Tosio (1970). Diamesa dampfi was collected in cold springs above 1000 m of altitude (Rossaro & Lencioni 2015a, b).

description: Diamesa permacra (Walker, 1856)
(Fig. 1 C, D)
The species can be easily identified on the basis of the shape of the aedeagal lobe bearing only fine spines at apex (Fig. 1 C, D). There is an old drawing of this species (Pagast 1947), and the most recent ones are in Serra-Tosio (1971b). In the paper with the original description of D. thomasi Serra-Tosio, 1970 (the dampfi group), some other diagnostic details are also provided.
In Italy, only an adult male associated to pupal exuviae was collected in Acqualba stream in 1978 (Prealps, NO). Larvae and pupal exuviae cannot be separated from D. dampfi; the larvae and pupae recorded in few localities in Prealp springs (Rossaro & Lencioni 2015a, b) probably belong to D. permacra.

The species publication year is here accepted to be 1968 following Ashe & O’Connor (2009). The species is well described by Serra-Tosio (1968) and can be separated from D. latitarsis based on the larger and shorter inferior volsella with dorso-lateral and ventro-medial lobes almost fused. It is known from different localities in the Alps (Rossaro & Lencioni 2015a, b).

(Fig. 2 A, B)
The examination of genitalia of many adult males suggests that in the Alps there are transition forms between this species and D. goetghebueri. The species D. lindrothi has a digitiform dorso-lateral lobe of inferior volsella (Fig. 2 A, B), while in D. goetghebueri the lobe is larger and flat (Fig. 2 C, D). According to Serra-Tosio (1973) this species is distributed throughout the Scandinavian Peninsula, but it is also present in the Alps. Examining larvae with barcode analysis confirms the existence of at least two separated species under this name in the Alps (Montagna et al. 2016).

description: Diamesa goetghebueri Pagast, 1947
(Fig. 2 C, D)
The species is not easily distinguished from D. lindrothi (see above). It could be suspected that the digitiform (D. lindrothi) or flat (D. goetghebueri) aspect of dorso-lateral lobe of inferior volsella (Fig. 2) depends on the angle of visualization. However, an accurate examination of many specimens from Estellette and Adamello glacial streams, with the male genitalia rigorously mounted in the same dorsal position, confirms the presence both of a digitiform and a flat dorso-lateral lobe and supports the separation of two species (see figures). According to Serra-Tosio (1973), D. goetghebueri is endemic from the Alps (Rossaro & Lencioni 2015a, b).

This species is endemic from the Alps (Serra-Tosio 1964; 1968). In Italy, an adult male of this species was collected only in Viola stream in July 1985 (Rossaro & Lencioni 2015a, b). For details of male genitalia see Fig. 3 A, B. The species can be diagnosed based on the ventro-medial lobe of inferior volsella (“appendice inférieur) that is much better developed than the much reduced dorso-lateral lobe.

The species was redescribed and figured by Kownacka & Kownacki (1975), and the male genitalia are here redrawn (Fig. 3 C, D). The beak-like shape of inferior volsella is typical. The species was found in the Italian Alps at 12VIII1978 near the Avio Lake, and no more recorded thereafter.

(Fig. 4 C, D)
Additions to the original description (Kownacki & Kownacka 1975) are here provided (in parenthesis are reported the measures of the original description).
Adult male: length 4.8 mm (4.0 mm), wing length 3.674 mm (2.5 mm), wing width 1 mm, coloration brownish black.
Head dark brown, eyes haired, the hairs longer than ommatid, the head chaetotaxy as for the other species of the genus Diamesa. Antenna lost in the Amola specimen, in holotype with thirteen segments (pedicel: 120:72, 20:24, 28:28, 28:28, 32:40, 40:40, 44:476 µm), AR (0.87–0.92), all segments with bristles. Palp shorter than antenna, consisting of four segments: not measureable: 116: 158: 164 µm (80:128:112:160).
Hypopygium (Fig. 4 C, D): Anal point short and wide, rounded apically, without bristles. IX abdominal segment with two groups of dorsal hairs symmetrically placed along the body line. Pars ventralis large. Aedeagal lobe characteristic, with a point in postero-lateral position. Gonocoxite with a superior volsella not projecting, almost square in shape, gonocoxite slightly concave in the middle part with a densely pubescent inferior volsella, enlarged in the middle, with two robust setae apically. Two strong setae in postero-median corner of gonocoxite.
Gonostylus widening towards the end, apical spine shorter than the back edge of the gonostylus, with welldeveloped sclerotized structures inside.
Systematic remarks. According to Kownacki & Kownacka (1980) the species belongs to the aberrata group, but the presence of hairy eyes suggests an affinity with the bertrami group. Diamesa nowickiana is easily separated from all the other species by the shape of the anal point.
Material collected: One pharate pupa with genitalia visible, Presena glacial stream, 13IX1990; one male, Amola glacier 14VIII2014.

The species is redescribed and illustrated in the unpublished thesis of Serra-Tosio (1971b). The species is coldstenothermal (Marziali & Rossaro 2013) and one of the commonest species in glacial habitat (Rossaro & Lencioni 2015a, b).

The most recent illustrations of male genitalia of this species are given in the thesis of Serra-Tosio (1971b), in Hansen & Cook (1976) and in Makarchenko (1985). Pagast (1947) described but did not illustrated the species. The species inhabits glacial streams as well as cold springs and streams (Rossaro & Lencioni 2015a, b).

The most recent illustrations of male genitalia of this species are in Giłka et al. (2013). The species was collected in the Italian Alps in Vermigliano stream and in Noce Bianco, but only in the larval and pupal stages (Rossaro & Lencioni 2015a, b). No adult male of D. starmachi are known at present from Italy.

Diamesa vaillanti

The species is well described and illustrated by Serra-Tosio (1972). It is very near to D. zernyi, but can be distinguished by the shorter and larger gonocoxite and inferior volsella (Serra-Tosio 1972). The species inhabits glacial streams, and it is widespread in cold waters at high altitudes (Rossaro & Lencioni 2015a, b).
