Checklist and
provisional atlas of the Diplopoda of The
Netherlands
The checklist below include all
species with published records in the literature or species
that are in the Diplopoda collections of the Natural History
Museum at Amsterdam and Leiden, or my own collection. Most
of the material was collected after 1970, but changes in the
taxonomic status of species arising from recent taxonomic
revisions and decisions are taken into account. Discovery of
misidentifications leading to changes in the checklist will
be reported. Based on information on the occurrence of
Diplopoda in surrounding countries a few new species are to
be expected for the Fauna of the Netherlands.
Taxonomy
The species names of Diplopoda follow
the descriptions in the publications of Schubart 1943,
Tausendfüßler oder Myriapoda I: Diplopoda. Jena,
Verlag von Gustav Fisher, and Blower 1985, Synopses of the
British Fauna (New Series), no 35, Brill & Backhuys,
Leiden.
Maps
The mapping of the distribution of
Diplopoda in the Netherlands has started in 1990. Maps are
available for almost all species (Berg 1995, Preliminary
atlas of the millipedes of the Netherlands. Amsterdam, Vrije
Universiteit: 1-56), and are currently updated. After
updating, maps will be added to the list.
Distribution
status
The status of species of Diplopoda is
based on the number of records in the 10 km by 10 km
Ordnance Survey Grid square of the Netherlands (hectads).
For sake of comparison I have adopted the presence
classification scheme by Steve Hopkin (see below). The
Diplopoda Survey Scheme is an ongoing project and regularly
updates of the status of species will be provided.
RARE: present in < 5
hectads
SCARCE: present in 6-10 hectads
MODERATELY COMMON: present in 11-25 hectads
COMMON: present in 26-50 hectads
VERY COMMON: present in > 50 hectads
INTRODUCED: not found outside glasshouses
etc.
COMMON and VERY COMMON species are
shown in BOLD UPPER CASE text. RARE, SCARCE,
and MODERATELY COMMON species are shown in bold lower
case text. NO CONFIRMED RECORDS species are shown in
unemphasised lower case. For these species no
definite records supported by specimens are available.
Eventually, they may be removed from the
checklist.
