Myriapoda (Chilopoda and Diplopoda) of the City of Plovdiv

The paper presents the first contribution to the study of the centipedes and millipedes of the city of Plovdiv. A total of 20 species (8 chilopods and 12 diplopods) belonging to 16 genera, 11 families, and 8 orders are recorded from the city. All but one species, Megaphyllum unilineatum (C.L. Koch, 1838), are new to the city, most of them being common and widely distributed in Bulgaria. Of particular interest is the finding of a geophilid centipede with an unclear generic appurtenance, which shows similarities to both Clinopodes C. L. Koch and Pleurogeophilus Verhoeff, and of a recently described millipede species - Metonomastus petrovi Antić et al. 2018.
