Three new monotypic genera are described from underground habitats in Croatia: Balkanodesmus biokovensis gen. n., sp. n., Solentanodesmus insularis gen. n., sp. n. and Velebitodesmus cavernicolus gen. n., sp. n. In all three new genera the prefemoral part of the gonopods is orientated transversely to the main body axis, and all three new genera possess numerous metatergal setae arranged in a few transverse irregular rows, a condition observed in several European trichopolydesmids. These three new genera are very close to the genus Verhoeffodesmus. A distribution map and a brief discussion about the relationship with congeners are provided.
比奥科维纳巴尔干球马陆属(Balkanodesmus biokovensis gen. n., sp. n.)、岛屿索伦特球马陆属(Solentanodesmus insularis gen. n., sp. n.)和洞穴韦莱比特球马陆属(Velebitodesmus cavernicolus gen. n., sp. n.)。在这三个新属中,生殖肢的股节前部横向于主体轴方向,并且这三个新属都有许多后胸刚毛,排列成几排横向不规则的行,这种情况在一些欧洲的多毛球马陆中也有观察到。这三个新属与韦氏球马陆属(Verhoeffodesmus)非常接近。文中提供了分布图以及关于与同属关系的简要讨论。
