Abstract

Pleuroloma flavipes Rafinesque, the westernmost representative of the east-Nearctic xystodesmid milliped fauna, is reported from Bowie County, Texas, the first record from this state. Other new localities from west of theMississippi River are listed, one being a disjunct site in Lafayette Parish, Louisiana, approximately 200 mi (320 km) south of the contiguous range; it is believed to represent an allopatric population. These sites extend the distributions of the species, genus, tribe Rhysodesmini, and family some 75 mi (120 km) westward in Oklahoma; the published locality in Ellsworth County, Kansas, is the westernmost in the Central Plains for these taxa.
