The currently documented fauna of described species of myriapods in Canada includes 54 Chilopoda, 66 Diplopoda, 23 Pauropoda, and two Symphyla, representing increases of 24, 23, 23, and one species, respectively, since 1979. Of the 145 myriapod species currently documented, 40 species are not native to Canada. The myriapods have not been well documented with DNA barcodes and no barcodes are available for Pauropoda. It is conservatively estimated that at least 93 additional myriapods species will be discovered in Canada: Chilopoda (40), Diplopoda (29), Pauropoda (17), and Symphyla (seven). In general, there is a serious dearth of knowledge about myriapods in Canada, and systematics research and surveys continue to be needed to help document the diversity and distribution of these groups in the country.
目前记录在案的加拿大已描述的多足动物区系包括54种唇足纲动物、66种倍足纲动物、23种少足纲动物和2种综合纲动物,自1979年以来,分别增加了24种、23种、23种和1种。在目前记录在案的145种多足动物中,有40种并非加拿大本土物种。多足动物的DNA条形码记录不完善,少足纲动物没有可用的条形码。据保守估计,在加拿大至少还会发现93种多足动物:唇足纲(40种)、倍足纲(29种)、少足纲(17种)和综合纲(7种)。总体而言,加拿大对多足动物的了解严重不足,仍需要进行系统学研究和调查,以帮助记录这些类群在该国的多样性和分布情况。
