Two new species of cave-dwelling millipedes are described from Myanmar, one each in the genera Silvestri, 1923 and Peters, 1864. joins the small peculiar group of congeners from Thailand which is characterized by such plesiomorphies as the tergal crests on the collum and following metaterga being transversely divided into two, not three parts, as in species of the genus Gervais, 1847. However, this new species differs by the 3-segmented telopodites of ♂ legs 1, the anterior gonopodal coxosternum showing higher and nearly straight apicomesal processes and very evident apicolateral teeth, as well as the higher and acuminate paramedian coxal processes of the posterior gonopods, the latter's telopodites demonstrating an apical fovea bearing a group of microsetae at the bottom. is primarily distinguished by the telopodites of their anterior gonopods being strikingly and deeply bifid. A key to the five species of Cambalopsidae currently known to occur in Myanmar is presented, and a map showing their distributions given.
从缅甸描述了两种新的穴居千足虫,分别属于1923年的西尔维斯特里属(Silvestri)和1864年的彼得斯属(Peters)。它加入了来自泰国的一小群特殊的同属物种,其特征是具有一些原始特征,如颈部和随后的后胸背板上的背板嵴横向分为两部分,而不像1847年的热尔韦属(Gervais)物种那样分为三部分。然而,这个新物种的不同之处在于雄性第1对腿的端足为3节,前生殖肢的基节腹板显示出更高且几乎笔直的顶端内侧突起和非常明显的顶端外侧齿,以及后生殖肢更高且渐尖的中位基节突起,后者的端足在底部有一个顶端凹坑,坑内有一组微刚毛。主要区别在于其前生殖肢的端足明显且深深分叉。给出了目前已知在缅甸出现的五种扁圆千足虫科物种的检索表,并给出了显示它们分布的地图。
