Show 2 Literature Dealing with philippine Myriopods and Inasmuch as the Pauropoda and Symphyla have not been recorded from the Philippines not represented m material studied in connection with the present research, the present paper deals only with the Chilopoda and the Diplopoda. The literature dealing with the Myrio pod fauna of the Philippine Islands is not extensive and does not include a single paper treating the subject exclusively or a fact that would seem to justify the present effort are ccmprehensfbly, summarizing and extending our knowledge. Taking the contributions to our knowledge of Philippine diplopods up chronologically, first mention must be made of a, paper by Newport published in 1844 which lists the first species recorded from the Islands (Newport 1844). Three years later Gervais added another species (Gervais 1847), Peters (1864) listed three species, and eight years later Porath added one species. Voges in 1878 listed seven species and Kar sch added four (Kar sch, 1881, a and b). Pocock next added four species (Pocock, 1893, a and b, 1895), Attems (1897) then added two species, Pocock (1897) two, and Silvestri (1897, 1911) three. Finally Chamberlin added thir teen species (Chamber lin, 1921, 1924, and 1941). at The published papers which deal with the Chilopoda are somewhat fewer than those on the Diplopoda. They begin with the paper by Gervais (1837) who mentions one species from the Philippines, who was followed by Wood (l863), listing one species; Porath (1876), one species; Kohlrausch (1879), three species' Haase (1886), seven species, these being treated in his com prehensive work entitled, Die Indtsch- Australischen Myriopoden; Kraepelin (1903), two species; Muralevic (1913), one species; Chamberlin (1920 a and b, 1921, 1941 and 1944), eleven species; and Takakuwa (1938) and (1942), two species. |
