Description
Summary:Setoisenoton, n. gen. Type species. S. pallidus, n. sp., here designated. Diagnosis. Small H+19 dalodesmids (ca 5 mm long) with long, straight, non-fused gonopod telopodites ending in a two-process claw in the longitudinal plane, with the prostatic groove terminating in the anterior process. Etymology. Setoisenoton is Notonesiotes spelled backwards, and points to the contrasting positions of the solenomere in the two genera (see Remarks and Fig. 2); masculine gender. Remarks. The new species described here resembles the H+19 dalodesmid Notonesiotes aucklandensis Johns, 1970 in non-gonopod details, and in both species the gonopod telopodite ends in a two-element claw. N. aucklandensis is known only from the subantarctic Auckland Islands (ca 50°S 166°E), where it is said to be widespread (Johns 1970). Jeekel (2006) redescribed N. aucklandensis from Auckland Island specimens collected during the Pacific Expedition (1914–1916) of Theodor Mortensen (Zoological Museum, University of Copenhagen). Jeekel showed that ... : Published as part of Mesibov, Robert, 2010, Two new millipede genera from northwest Tasmania, Australia (Diplopoda: Polydesmida: Dalodesmidae), pp. 53-61 in Zootaxa 2571 on page 54, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.197398 ...
