A mountain of millipedes VI. New records, new species, a new genus and a general discussion of Odontopygidae from the Udzungwa Mts, Tanzania (Diplopoda, Spirostreptida, Odontopygidae) Author Enghoff, Henrik text European Journal of Taxonomy 2018 2018-01-11 394 1 29 journal article 31016 10.5852/ejt.2018.394 54a11801-d3d3-4b76-9f6c-7a9c27677825 1146158 94028C61-FAC5-4A21-BF2D-A75BBF3CCC4D Genus Damacornu gen. nov. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:6D078904-52C2-43CF-9930-050C487442DA Type species Damacornu transversum gen. et sp. nov. , by original designation. Other included species None. Diagnosis A genus of Odontopygidae – Prionopetalini characterized by the following combination of characters: gonopod coxa with a mesal spineless metaplical shelf, without a basad metaplical spine; telopodital torsotope with a long spine; solenomere whip-like, with a basal spine but otherwise without outgrowths, apically fluted and spiraled; telomere a longitudinally folded lamella; distal half of telomere bent at right angles in relation to basal half, with a row of teeth on internal surface. Etymology A composite noun, from Dama (fallow deer) and cornu (horn, antler), referring to the (slight) resemblance between the gonopod telomere and an antler from the fallow deer, Dama dama (Linnaeus, 1758) . Gender neuter. Remarks In the key to genera of “ Odontopyginae ” by Kraus (1966) , Damacornu transversum gen. et sp. nov. keys out to the genus Odontopyge , and in the key to species of “Odontopyge” by Kraus (1960) it keys out in couplet 11 (“ O.” citernii Silvestri, 1898 and “O.” difficilis Silvestri, 1895). The new species is, however, clearly different from these two species in which there is no metaplical shelf and the proximal solenomeral spine ( ps ) (“Tibialdorn”) is rudimentary. None of the “orphaned” species assigned to Odontopyge by earlier authors (see Enghoff 2016a ) can be adopted by Damacornu gen. nov. , which for the time being remains monotypic.
