Abstract
Three new cavernicolous species of Hyleoglomeris are described from Greece: Hyleoglomeris subreducta sp.n., from Chios Island, Hyleoglomeris translucida sp.n., from Rhodes Island, and Hyleoglomeris insularis sp.n., from Kalymnos Island, all in the Aegean Sea.
Highlights
In Eurasia, the largely Holarctic, warm temperate to tropical millipede order Glomerida is long known to show two main centres of generic and species diversification, one in the Mediterranean, the other in the Oriental realm (Golovatch et al 2010)
1910 is the only genus shared by the two, being the largest and certainly the most widespread in the entire order. It dominates the Oriental fauna of Glomerida, containing nearly 100 nominate species ranging from Serbia, Balkans in the West to Japan in the East, and the Sunda Archipelago (Sulawesi) in the Southeast (Golovatch et al 2006, Golovatch et al 2012, Golovatch et al 2013, Golovatch and Geoffroy 2012, Makarov et al 2013)
Glomeris appears to be simpler, likely more basal, in that its species are normally larger in size, with less numerous striae on the second tergite, in possessing a less strongly reduced male leg-pair 17, and usually in having no caudal tubercle at the base of the tibial outgrowth of the telopod (Golovatch et al 2012)
