Sakhnevitch. Material re-examined: 1 male paratype (IBSS) from Russia, Siberia, Altai Mts, Katunsky Mt. Range, Katunsky Nature Reserve, near Multa, Sredneye Multinskoye Lake, ca. 30 air-km SE of Ust-Koksa, 1,600– 2,200 m a.s.l., collected 30 July– 5 August 1994 by S.I. Golovatch and A.B. Ryvkin; 1 male (IBSS) from Russia, Siberia, Altai Province, Smolenskoe District, near Smolenskoe village, bank of Poperechka River, Salix, collected 27 August 2000 by P.S. Nefediev. Distribution. Russia: Siberia (Republic of Altai, southeastern part of Altai Province). Remarks. The species was originally described from the Altai Mountains; Katunsky Nature Reserve is the type locality (Mikhaljova & Golovatch 2001). The species shows variation in gonopod configuration (Mikhaljova & Nefediev 2003). The fresh material from the Altaisky Reserve adds information concerning the variability of this species. The distal part of the gonopod mesomere is variable in shape. It is prolonged to a different degree, or without prolongation, with an apical fovea and a minute knob, with an apical fovea and without a knob but with an apical hook in specimens from the Altaisky State Nature Reserve (Figs 8–9), Aigulaksky Mt. Range, Republic of Altai (Figs 10–11) and the Smolenskoe District (Figs 12–14), in contrast to a relatively simple apex of the mesomere in a specimen from the Katunsky Nature Reserve (Figs 15, 16). A process of the gonopod opisthomere is long, styletiform; it is placed approximately in the middle portion of the inner side of the opisthomere in specimen from Katunsky Nature Reserve (Fig. 15), in contrast to the short process of the gonopod opisthomere which is placed apically or subapically in specimens from Altaisky State Nature Reserve (Fig. 17) and Smolenskoe District (Fig. 18). Configuration of the gonopod promere is practically invariable. Genus Sibiriulus contains three species known from Siberia.Published as part of Mikhaljova, Elena V., Nefediev, Pavel S. & Nefedieva, Julia S., 2007, New data on millipedes of the family Julidae (Diplopoda, Julida) from Altai, Siberia, pp. 57-63 in Zootaxa 1541 on pages 60-62, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17784

Megaphyllum sjaelandicum Meinert 1868

Megaphyllum sjaelandicum (Meinert, 1868) Fig. 19 Material examined: 1 male, 1 female (IBSS) from Russia, Siberia, Republic of Altai, Shebalino District, Kumalyr, 85 ° 34 ' – 51 ° 10 ', Larix sibirica park-like forest, 1050 m a.s.l., collected 14 August 2005 by A.S. Babenko; 1 male, no. 50 (PSU) from Russia, Urals, Perm Province, Kishertsky District, "Predural'e" protected territory, Kamen' Mezhevoy, southern slope, steppe part, limestone, collected 31 May 1996 by N.S. Mazura; 2 males, 1 female, no. 102 (IBSS), 1 male, no. 102 (PSU) from Russia, Perm Province, Kachka village, new Betula forest, pitfall traps, collected 2–13 June 2001 by S.L. Esyunin. Remarks. This species is distributed in Central and Eastern Europe. Hitherto the easternmost known records are from the Ural Region (Komlev & Esyunin 1996). This is the first record of the species in Siberia. This species appears to be variable. The mesal side of the gonopod promere in a male from Altai has a small projection distally (Fig. 19). The gonopod promere is devoid of such a projection in males from European countries and the Ural Region. In addition, the gonopod flagella are somewhat longer, and the gonopod mesomere processes are somewhat more obtuse in a male from Altai in comparison with ones in males from the Urals. A still undescribed species referred to as Megaphyllum aff. sjaelandicum was recorded in the West (= Rudnyi) Altais, East Kazakhstan (Golovatch 1992). It seems plausible that it too belongs to M. sjaelandicum, taking into account the variability of latter species.Published as part of Mikhaljova, Elena V., Nefediev, Pavel S. & Nefedieva, Julia S., 2007, New data on millipedes of the family Julidae (Diplopoda, Julida) from Altai, Siberia, pp. 57-63 in Zootaxa 1541 on pages 62-63, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17784

Babenko.</p> <p> <i>Diagnosis</i>: The species differs from congeners mainly by the large, horn-shaped lateral sheath processes of the posterior gonopod colpocoxites.</p> <p> <i>Description</i>: Male. Length 17 mm, width 1.6 mm with paraterga. Coloration in alcohol light brown. Legs yellowish, with marbled brownish distal parts. Eyes black. Antennae broken.</p> <p>Body with 32 segments. Anterior part of head sparsely setose, vertigial suture hardly visible. Eye patches subtriangular, with 23–27 ocelli. Collum semicircular, its macrochaetae broken. Somite 2 narrower than both head (with genae) and somite 3. Paraterga beginning on somite 2, well developed on somites 4–27, reduced on somite 28, onward missing. Metazonital macrochaetae in a transverse row on somites 29–31, like an extended triangle on preceding somites. Macrochaetae pointed, but not very sharply so. Anterolateral macrochaetae shortest, caudolateral and medial ones subequal in length. Axial suture well developed.</p> <p>Legs long and slender. Leg pairs 1 and 2 typically reduced in size, with tarsal brushes as usual; each claw with long setiform outgrowth (=filament) ventrally at base, and two small additional claws dorsally. Other pregonopodal legs gradually enlarged toward gonopods. Leg pairs 3–7 with group of funnel-shaped tarsal papillae apically near claw. Claws 3 and 4 each with long setiform outgrowth ventrally and two small additional claws dorsally at base. Claws 5–7 each with a long setiform outgrowth at base ventrally only. Postgonopodal legs (including leg pairs 10 and 11) with funnel-shaped tarsal papillae apically near claw. Tarsal papillae gradually missing toward hind part of body. Claws of postgonopodal legs (including claws of leg pairs 10 and 11) each with a long setiform outgrowth ventrally and two small additional claws dorsally at base; long setiform outgrowth and additional claws gradually missing toward posteriormost legs (the additional claws missing former). Claws of posteriormost legs without both a long setiform outgrowth ventrally and two small additional claws dorsally. Legs pairs 10 and 11 with coxal glands. Coxa 11 (Fig. 1) with ventral process covered with sparse setae; coxal gland opening on an anterior wall of coxa.</p> <p>Anterior gonopod telopodites 2-segmented, subflagelliform (Fig. 2); first telopodite segment and distal part of coxosternum attached to the adjacent mesal portion of posterior gonopod by thin membranous film. Distal part of telopodite hidden inside narrow sheath groove. Posterior gonopod colpocoxites fused basally, curved caudad. Sheath groove stretching to anterior surface of colpocoxite. Lateral sheath process of colpocoxite (lp) large, as horn curved basally, with small mesal protuberance subbasally; mesal surface of lateral sheath process shagreen. Mesal sheath process of colpocoxite absent. Angiocoxite with a globule in posterior view. Posterior angiocoxal process (pp) large, curved forward; its apex pointed. Anterior angiocoxal process (ap) digitiform, with a blunt apex (Fig. 3). Posterior gonopod telopodites 2-segmented, setose, with a long femur.</p> <p>Female.
