Abstract
Pseudojulina n. subtribe, featuring lateral lobes on the 8 th sternum in males, is proposed for the milliped genera Pseudojulus Bollman, 1887, Arvechambus Causey, 1963, and Arvechamboides Shelley, 2007 (Julida: Parajulidae: Parajulinae: Aniulini). The coordinate, nominate taxon, Aniulina n. stat., is necessitated for other aniulinine genera, and "Southern Clade" is proposed to replace "Aniulina" as the unofficial name for the tribal lineage comprising Aniulini + Gosiulini + Nesoressini + Parajulini. New accounts & diagnoses, consistent with the new taxon, are presented for Pseudojulus, Arvechambus, and Arvechamboides, and P. mississippiensis n. sp., from Grenada County, Mississippi, is described. A variant displaying features of 3 species — P. paynei (Hoffman, 1992) and P. carolinensis & coastalis, both by Shelley, 2004 — is characterized as is a gynandromorph of Arvechambus hummi Causey, 1963, that possesses malformed gonopods & cyphopods. Nomenclatural alterations appear necessary among family-group taxa in the Parajulidae; existing tribes may warrant elevation to subfamilies.References
