On some little known Paradoxosomatidae from India and Ceylon, with the description of four new genera (Diplopoda, Polydesmida)

A number of paradoxosomatid species described from India and Ceylon have been re-examined. Pyragrogonus nov. gen. (Cnemodesmini) is proposed for Orthomorpha willeyi Carl, 1932, from Ceylon; Parchondromorpha nov. gen. and Harpagomorpha nov. gen. (Sulciferini) for Orthomorpha coonoorensis Carl, 1932, and Orthomorpha dentata Carl, 1932, from India, respectively. For Sundanina laevisulcata Carl, 1932, and S. hirta Carl, 1932, from India, the genus Antichirogomts nov. gen. is erected. Some notes are given concerning the characters of the genera Polydrepanum Carl ,1932, and Dasypharkis Attems, 1936 (Polydrepanini) and the status of the tribes Polydrepanini and Alogolykini.
