A review of the millipedes (Diplopoda) of Namibia, with identification keys and descriptions of two new genera and five new species Author Vohland, Katrin Author Hamer, Michelle text African Invertebrates 2013 2013-06-30 54 1 251 251 journal article 2305-2562 Harpagophora diplocrada Attems, 1909 Figs 63, 64 Harpagophora diplocrada : Attems 1909 a : 42 , figs 90, 91; 1922: 42; 1928: 374; Schubart 1966: 168; Demange 1983: 579; Hamer 1998: 54; Redman et al. 2003: 221. Diagnosis: Lateral lamella of telocoxite with large median digitiform process directed distally, and with one to three small teeth below this ( Fig. 64 ). First femoral process ( Fig. 63 , fp1 ) small, partially curved around the base of the larger spine and concealed in gonocoel. Second femoral process ( Fig. 63 , fp2 ) originating at knee, distally divided into 2 spines. Pectinophore ribbon-like ( Fig. 64 , pe ), and incurved towards spine branch, Spine branch narrow and apically acute ( Fig. 64 , sb ). Description: Size : Mid-body width in males 9 mm , in females 11 mm . Male with 48 segments, female with 49. Colour : Frons chestnut brown, head darker. Antenna chestnut brown, 6 th antennomere darker. Collum dark brown; prozonites yellowish, dark yellow longitudinal stripes present at height of ozopores; metazonites dark brown to black, anteriorly lightly bordered; ozopores darker. Limbus yellowish. Last segment dark, only median ridge on paraprocts lighter. Sternites yellow, legs dark brown. Head : Frons finely wrinkled, with 5 supralabral pits. Epicranial suture distinct, interocular suture only faint. Suture from hind corner of eye visible, eye relatively close to antenna.Antennomere 2>3>4>5>1>6>7, and antenna hardly reaching posterior border of collum. Collum : Lateral margin wide, thickened, 1 or 2 folds at anterior and lateral borders. Tergites and sternites : Ozopores from 6 th segment onwards. Prozonites longitudinally striated, ventrally turning into horizontal ridges of metazonites; metazonites with longitudinal striation, ending below ozopores. Prozonites and metazonites divided by a distinct suture. Limbus finely dentate. Sigilla ovoid. Legs : Pads becoming smaller posteriorly, on last segments only distal pad present, this always being larger than interior pad. Gonopods : As in diagnosis.
