A mountain of millipedes VII: The genus Eviulisoma Silvestri, 1910, in the Udzungwa Mountains, Tanzania, and related species from other Eastern Arc Mountains. With notes on Eoseviulisoma Brolemann, 1920, and Suohelisoma Hoffman, 1963 (Diplopoda, Polydesmida, Paradoxosomatidae) Author Enghoff, Henrik text European Journal of Taxonomy 2018 2018-06-19 445 1 90 journal article 10.5852/ejt.2018.445 5dfd4ff4-6c8b-47f4-9aa7-0f6b1b2af967 1489598 852A3F68-B728-413A-B12E-56F306D56C35 The kwabuniense group Diagnosis Species of Eviulisoma in which male sternum 6 is deeply excavated with unlobed margins, there is an intermediate acropodital process and the solenophore is a relatively open sheet with mostly three, more rarely two apical lobes. Fig. 8. Gonopods in Eviulisoma spp. A . E. akkariae sp. nov. , paratype, right gonopod, colour-coded: light green = coxa; dark green = cannula; light blue = prefemoral part; purplish blue = mesal acropodital process; pink = intermediate acropodital process; orange = solenophore; yellow = solenomere. B . E. culter sp. nov. , paratype, right gonopod, solenomere entering solenophore. C . E. ottokrausi sp. nov. , paratype, left gonopod, solenomere dislodged from solenophore. Scale bars: A = 0.1 mm; B–C = 0.05 mm. Table 3. Species groups of Eviulisoma Silvestri, 1910 , their constituent species and main morphological characters. Note that with the exception of E. alluaudi Brolemann, 1920 , E. jeanneli Brolemann, 1920 and E. silvaticum Attems, 1953 , which are tentatively assigned to the kwabuniense group, the table only includes species from the Udzungwa, Rubeho and Kanga Mts.

The included species furthermore share a hypoproct with three prominent marginal tubercles. Most of the species are apparently pallid (although fading of colour cannot be excluded), only E. akkariae sp. nov. , which is also larger than the others, having a distinct ringed colour pattern. Included species: E. kwabuniense Kraus, 1958 E. acaciae sp. nov. E. aequilobatum sp. nov. E. akkariae sp. nov. E. cetafi sp. nov. E. chitense sp. nov. E. commelina sp. nov. E. ejti sp. nov.

E. alluaudi Brolemann, 1920 , E. jeanneli Brolemann, 1920 , and E. silvaticum Attems, 1953 , may also be tentatively included in this group, based on published descriptions ( Attems 1953 ; Brolemann 1920 ; Jeekel 2003 ; VandenSpiegel & Golovatch 2014 ).
