Abstract

The millipede fauna of the Sikhote-Alin State Nature Biosphere Reserve (Far East, Russia) is reviewed, at present containing 17 recognizable species from 15 genera, 9 families and 5 orders. A brief historical account and new faunistic records as well as a key to all Diplopoda taxa presently known from the Sikhote-Alin State Nature Biosphere Reserve are provided. Morphological variability of Diplomaragna terricolor (Attems, 1899) is revealed and analyzed, including the material from other territories of the Primorsky Krai and Khabarovsky Krai. The species diversity of Diplopoda within the reserve is mapped.
