Caucaseuma lohmanderi Strasser, 1970 Caucaseuma minellii Caucaseuma variabile The Caucasus as a major hotspot of biodiversity: Evidence from the millipede family Anthroleucosomatidae (Diplopoda, Chordeumatida) Antić, Dragan Ž. Makarov, Slobodan E. Zootaxa 2016 4211 1 1 205 7NWJJ Strasser, 1970 Strasser 1970 [238,574,1473,1499] Diplopoda Anthroleucosomatidae Caucaseuma Animalia Chordeumatida 27 28 Arthropoda genus   Diagnosis.Differs from the obviously most similar genus  Paranotosoma  gen. nov.by the presence of two flagelliform coxal processes on the posterior gonopods, from the genus  Heterocaucaseuma  gen. nov.by the presence of anterior shield-like processes of the anterior gonopods.   Description.Body length 8–20 mm; number of body segments 28 or 30 inadults (including telson). Epigean species with pigmented body, vs. species known only from caves being yellowish white or with bodies with reduced pigmentation. Head without frontal depression in males. Antennae and walking legs normal; somewhat elongated in cave-dwelling species. Lateral keels better developed in species known in caves, like lateral swellings. Macrochaetae relatively long to long, trichoid. Leg-pairs 3–7 inmales enlarged, with or without peculiarities on leg-pair 7. Leg-pairs 10 and 11 inmales with coxal glands, with neither any coxal horns nor processes. Anterior gonopods with a medial, subtriangular and hairy sternal sac ( ss) arising from sternal plate ( sp) on anterior side. Coxal processes divided into anterior and posterior parts. Anterior coxal processes ( cp) wide and shield-like, posterior one ( pp) mainly in the form of a complex lever. Posterior gonopods with completely divided coxites ( c). Posterolateral sides with small telopodites ( t). Coxal vesicles ( cv) present on anterior side. Both coxites bearing a pair of whip-like coxal processes ( cp).   Distribution. Abkhazia,  Georgia, Russia( Fig. 168, circles).  Typespecies.  Caucaseuma lohmanderi Strasser, 1970, by original designation. Included species.   Caucaseuma elephantum  sp. nov.    Caucaseuma fanagoriyskaya  sp. nov.   Caucaseuma glabroscutum  sp. nov.   Caucaseuma kelasuri  sp. nov.    Caucaseuma lohmanderi Strasser, 1970  Caucaseuma minellii  sp. nov.   Caucaseuma variabile  sp. nov.
