Abstract

A new species of millipede in the genus Agathodesmus Silvestri, 1910 is described from Australia: Agathodesmus urbanus sp. nov. It is described from five localities in Sydney, New South Wales, from collections obtained in suburban parks and reserves. The new species is distinguished by gonopod morphology, especially in that the median branch of the telopodite is distally divided into three lobes and curves in front of the main branch of the distal portion of the telopodite. A key to all four species that occur in New South Wales is provided.
