The diplopod fauna of Mt. Kopaonik, Serbia

Abstract

The present paper constitutes a thorough study of diversity of the diplopod fauna from Mt. Kopaonik, Serbia. A single new endemic form of millipedes Brachydesmus (Stylobrachydesmus) pancici n. sp., has been described and diagnosed. Two species new to the fauna of Serbia - Haasea plasana Verhoeff 1899 and Brachydesmus (Stylobrachydesmus) attemsi Verhoeff, 1895 - have also been found. At the present time, altogether seven diplopod species and six genera are known to inhabit Mt. Kopaonik.
