Description

The milliped fauna of Mexico and Central America is very poorly known. The present checklist has been prepared to overcome some of the difficulties of studying the millipeds of these countries, as presented by the dispersed literature and lack of bibliographies to it. In general, the checklist follows the arrangement of the Checklist of the Millipeds of North America, and adopts the basic classification system proposed by R.V. Chamberlain and R. L. Hoffman on pages 7 and 8, except as altered later by the junior author to combine the orders Spirostreptida and Cambalida, with the latter reduced to a suborder. Keys to all classification categories through families have been included here.
