Review of the Neotropical fauna of the millipede family Fuhrmannodesmidae, with the description of four new species from near Manaus, Central Amazonia, Brazil (Diplopoda, Polydesmida)

The Neotropical fauna of the chiefly tropical/subtropical millipede family Fuhrmannodesmidae has been reviewed, four new species have been described, and one more redescribed, from near Manaus, Brazil. As few as six genera are regarded valid: Phaneromerium VERHOEFF, 1941, solely with the generotype P. obtusangulus (CARL, 1914); Olmodesmus KRAUS, 1954, with O. laticeps KRAUS, 1954 (the type-species), O. minimus KRAUS, 1954, O. taulisensis KRAUS, 1954, O. longipes KRAUS, 1954, and O. robustus KRAUS, 1955; Fuhrmannodesmus CARL, 1914 (= Gyrophallus CARL; 1914, = Phylacomerium YERHOEFF, 1941a, = Schizotelopus VERHOEFF, 1941b, all syn.n.!), with F. lividus CARL, 1914 (the type-species), F. imitans (CARL, 1914), F. simillimus (CARL, 1914), F. funiculus (PETERS, 1864) sensu CARL 1914, the three latter as comb. n. ex Gyrophallus, F. album (VERHOEFF, 1941), F. esperanza (KRAUS, 1960), both comb.n. ex Phylacomerium, and F.brevicornis (CARL, l9l4), comb.n. ex Schizotelopus; Cutervodesmus KRAUS, 1957, with C. niger KRAUS, 1957 (the type-species), C. similis KRAUS, 1959, and C. adisi n.sp.; Cryptogonodesmus SILVESTRI, 1898 ( = Brachycerodesmus CARL, 1914, syn.n.!), with C. clavidives SILVESTRI, 1898 (the type-species). C. angulifer (PETERS, 1864) sensu CARL 1914, C. fuhrmanni CARL, 1914, C. peruvianus KRAUS, 1954, C. petersi (CARL, 1914), C. oxapampaensis (KRAUS, 1960), C. tarmaensis (KRAUS, 1959), the three latter as comb.n. ex Brachycerodesmus, and C. carli (KRAUS, 1955), comb.n. ex Fuhrmannodesmus; and finally Moojenodesmus SCHUBART, 1945 ( = Pichitaria KRAUS, 1959, = Esperanzella KRAUS, 1960, = Giustoella KRAUS, 1960, all syn.n.!), with M. pygmaeus SCHUBART, 1945 (the type-species), M. pumilus SCHUBART, 1944 (the first description of the male sex), M. armatus (KRAUS, 1959), comb.n. ex Pichitaria, M. polydesmoides (KRAUS, 1960), comb.n. ex Esperanzella, M. cryptus (KRAUS, 1960), M. minutissimus (KRAUS, 1960), both latter as comb.n. ex Giustoella, as well as M. irmgardae n.sp., M. bethaniae n.sp., and M. susannae n.sp
