The Caucasus as a major hotspot of biodiversity: Evidence from the millipede family Anthroleucosomatidae (Diplopoda, Chordeumatida) Author Antić, Dragan Ž. Author Makarov, Slobodan E. text Zootaxa 2016 4211 1 1 205 journal article 37322 10.11646/zootaxa.4211.1.1 7af458af-d56d-44e3-a6f7-af97868175d9 1175-5326 272750 6B86C6BA-6AFE-4AAD-870D-04794C138D47 The Alloiopus complex This complex includes two genera with 30 body segments in adults (including telson): the monotypic genus Alloiopus Attems, 1951 and the genus Golovatchosoma gen. nov. with two species. Both genera are characterized by the presence of well-developed, two-segmented and robust, setose telopodites of the posterior gonopods, and as such they fail to occur in the other Caucasian complexes of anthroleucosomatids. Mauriès et al . (1997) put Alloiopus in the same group together with the genera Persedicus Mauriès, 1982 (now Metamastigophorophyllon ) and Ghilarovia Gulička, 1972 . This opinion was followed by Tabacaru and Giurginca (2005) and Ćurčić et al . (2008) in that all these three genera were assigned to the Alloiopus complex, but, according to the gonopod structure, neither Persedicus (now Metamastigophorophyllon ) nor Ghilarovia actually belongs to the Alloiopus complex, while Ghilarovia does not seem to represent the Anthroleucosomatidae at all.
