The millipede order Platydesmida (Diplopoda) in Taiwan, with descriptions of two new species

The diplopod order Platydesmida appears to be represented in Taiwan by two new species from one family, Andrognathidae, and two genera: Brachycybe disticha sp. nov. and Yamasinaium latum sp. nov. Descriptions of these two species are presented, also based on examination of the types of the geographically closest species of each genus: Brachycybe nodulosa (Verhoeff, 1935) and Yamasinaium noduligerum Verhoeff, 1939, both from Japan. The distributions of the Taiwanese species of Brachycybe and Yamasinaium are mapped and discussed.
