A new pill millipede, Rhopalomeris nagao sp. nov., is described from Vietnam. It is recognized by the following combination of characters: antennal tip with numerous sensory cones; telopods with short prefemoral and femoral trichosteles, with long, straight and acute tuberculiform femoral process, and with shorter lobuliform tibial process; syncoxial lobe being slightly concave medially, syncoxial horns being longer than lobe. A fragment of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene is also provided for the new species. The K2P genetic distance of the COI between the new species and other Vietnamese glomeridans is from 10.7% to 16.9%. Two genera, Hyperglomeris and Hyleoglomeris, are considered to be non-monophyletic, but more data and samples will be needed for confirmation.
描述了来自越南的一种新的 pill millipede,即 Rhopalomeris nagao sp. nov.。它的特征如下:触角末端有许多感觉锥;telopods 具有短的prefemoral 和 femoral trichosteles,具有长而直的锐角股骨突起,以及较短的lobuliform tibial process;syncoxial lobe 中部略微凹陷,syncoxial horns 比 lobe 长。还为新物种提供了细胞色素 c 氧化酶亚基 I (COI) 基因的片段。新物种与其他越南 glomeridans 之间的 COI 的 K2P 遗传距离为 10.7%至 16.9%。两个属,Hyperglomeris 和 Hyleoglomeris,被认为不是单系的,但需要更多的数据和样本来确认。
