Julida View in CoL of South America and associated islands
Julida View in CoL is exclusively Holarctic and hence not native to South America ( Brölemann 1909, Hoffman 1980, Enghoff 1993, Shelley and Golovatch 2011). The closest indigenous julidan is “ Parajulus View in CoL ” schmidti australis Shelley, 2008 ( Parajulidae View in CoL : Parajulinae: Parajulini), in El Salvador, around 1,464 km (915 mi) northwest of the Panama / Colombia border ( Shelley 2008), so all South American julidans have been introduced by man. Ostensibly native South American species described in, or assigned to, Julus View in CoL L., 1758, by early authors ( Brandt 1833, 1840, 1841; Lucas 1840; Gervais 1847; Saussure 1860; Karsch 1881; Tömösváry 1885; etc.) belong to the other juliformian orders, Spirobolida View in CoL and Spirostreptida. Brölemann (1909) summarized South American julidans, and species addressed/described by Brandt and Gervais were further treated and/or modernly reassigned by Golovatch and Hoffman (2000) and Mauriès et al. (2001). The only name that Brölemann (1909) could not then place was that of the Brazilian species, Julus crassicornis Mikan, 1834 View in CoL , subsequently cited by Brandt (1840, 1841) and Gervais (1847), which he considered a nomen nudum.
To the best of our knowledge, the first South American record of an authentic julidan is of the blaniulid, Nopoiulus kochii ( Gervais, 1847) View in CoL (= Blaniulus pulchellus Leach, 1814 View in CoL ), from a garden in old Cavancha, Iquique, Chile ( Attems 1903:81), which Brölemann (1909) overlooked. To facilitate studies on continental Diplopoda, RMS View in CoL scoured potential references and found records for two julidan families, three genera, and five species that we cite taxonomically below under modern names with localities and citations. All are from southern South America, particularly Chile, and occurrences are depicted in Fig. 4 View Figure 4 . More surely exist, but some better known and important works, like that of Carl (1914) on Colombia, lack them. Most records appear under old or archaic names that we also cite. Sources for modern names are Blower (1985) and the Fauna Europaea website (http://www.faunaeur.org/); taxonomy is per Hoffman (1980), Enghoff (1990), Shelley (2003), Enghoff et al. (2011), and Shear (2011).
