Red Listing of Threatened species is recognized as the most objective approach for evaluating extinction risk of living organisms which can be applied at global or national scales. Invertebrates account for nearly 97% of all animals on the planet but are insufficiently represented in the IUCN Red Lists at both scales. To analyze the occurrence of species present in regional Red Lists, accounts of 48 different countries and regions all over the world were consulted and all data about myriapods (Myriapoda) ever assessed in Red Lists at any level assembled. Myriapod species assessments were found in eleven regional Red Lists; however, no overlap between the species included in the global IUCN Red List and the regional ones was established. This means that myriapod species considered threatened at regional level may not be eligible for international funding specific for protection of native threatened species (more than US$ 25 million were available in the last decade) as most financial instruments tend to support only threatened species included in the IUCN Red List. As the lack of financial resources may limit protection for species in risk of extinction, it is urgent to increase the possibilities of getting financial support for implementation of measures for their protection. A Red List of all Myriapoda species recorded in Red Lists at national or local (596) and global (210) scales totaling 806 species is presented. This list shows for the first time an overview of the current conservation status of Myriapoda species. Here, the urgent need of establishing a Myriapoda Specialist Group in the Species Survival Commission of IUCN is also stressed.
濒危物种红色名录被认为是评估生物灭绝风险最客观的方法，可应用于全球或国家层面。无脊椎动物占地球上所有动物的近97%，但在国际自然保护联盟（IUCN）红色名录的两个层面上都没有得到充分体现。为了分析区域红色名录中物种的出现情况，查阅了全球48个不同国家和地区的记录，并汇总了在任何层面的红色名录中曾被评估的关于多足纲动物（Myriapoda）的所有数据。在11个区域红色名录中发现了多足纲物种评估情况；然而，全球IUCN红色名录中的物种与区域红色名录中的物种之间没有重叠。这意味着在区域层面被视为濒危的多足纲物种可能没有资格获得专门用于保护本土濒危物种的国际资金（过去十年有超过2500万美元可用），因为大多数金融工具往往只支持IUCN红色名录中包含的濒危物种。由于缺乏财政资源可能会限制对濒危物种的保护，因此迫切需要增加为实施其保护措施获得财政支持的可能性。本文列出了在国家或地方（596种）和全球（210种）层面的红色名录中记录的所有多足纲物种的红色名录，共计806种。该名录首次展示了多足纲物种当前的保护状况概述。在此，还强调了在IUCN物种生存委员会中迫切需要设立一个多足纲专家组。
