Genus Angulifemur Zhang, 1997

Angulifemur Zhang, 1997 , Thesis Compilation of Tianjin Natur. Hist. Mus., 14: 1. Type species: Angulifemur tridigitis Zhang, 1997 , by original designation.

Two species, Yunnan Province, China.

Remark: Genus Angulifemur was erected in an obscure paper by Zhang (1997) published in the Thesis Compilation of

Tianjin Natural History Museum. The publication remained unknown to the international myriapodological society until

recently, and due to the regional character of the journal and its poor circulation to the “western” libraries, it was missed

in the second edition of the “Nomenclator generum and familiarum Diplopodorum II” (Shelley et al. 2000). The genus is

weakly diagnosed showing no significant differences from Paracortina (cf. Stoev & Geoffroy 2004) and will most likely

fall into the synonymy of latter when types are re-examined and further material becomes available for study.
