The Portuguese endemic callipodidan millipede Lusitanipus alternans (Verhoeff, 1893) is redescribed, based on abundant new material collected in caves of central Portugal. The species is illustrated with comprehensive SEM images. The relationships of the genus Lusitanipus Mauriès, 1978 to other callipodidan genera of the subfamily Cyphocallipodinae Verhoeff, 1909 are discussed. The major part of the studied material is highly infected with ectoparasitic fungi of the order Laboulbeniales, we also include information about the infection in the subterranean ecosystem.
基于在葡萄牙中部洞穴中收集的大量新材料,对葡萄牙特有的Callipodidan千足虫Lusitanipus alternans(Verhoeff,1893)进行了重新描述。用全面的扫描电子显微镜图像对该物种进行了说明。讨论了1978年的Lusitanipus属与1909年Verhoeff的Cyphocallipodinae亚科的其他Callipodidan属之间的关系。所研究材料的大部分都被Laboulbeniales目的外寄生真菌高度感染,我们还纳入了有关地下生态系统中感染情况的信息。
