Abstract

No special studies on the millipede fauna of the Chechen Republic have hitherto been performed, the known published records being quite few and highly sporadic. The fauna is summarized here and it presently totals 19 species from 14 genera, 11 families and seven orders, all records thereby being mapped, both new and old, several species illustrated, and each species account supplied with notes on its distribution.
