Abstract:
The large pantropical millipede genus Stemmiulus , which currently encompasses more than 150 species, i.e. the bulk of the species diversity of the family Stemmiulidae and entire order Stemmiulida, is shown to comprise seven species in Cameroon, including three new ones: S.ongot Nzoko Fiemapong & amp; VandenSpiegel, sp. n. , S.uncus Nzoko Fiemapong & amp; VandenSpiegel, sp. n. , and S.mbalmayoensis Nzoko Fiemapong & amp; VandenSpiegel, sp. n. In addition, S.beroni Mauriès, 1989, previously known only from the type locality in Nigeria, is recorded from Cameroon for the first time, also being redescribed based on new samples. A key is given to all species of the genus encountered in the country, based on male gonopodal conformation, except for S.camerunensis (Silvestri, 1916), which was described only from female and juvenile material.
