Millipeds (Arthropoda: Diplopoda) of the Ark-La-Tex. V. New Distribution Records for Select Taxa in Arkansas, Oklahoma, And Texas (Notes) (Report‪)‬

Over the past decade or more, increased interests in distributions of millipeds of Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas have appeared in the literature (McAllister et al., 2002a, 2002b, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2008, 2009; McAllister and Shelley 2003, 2005a, 2005b, 2008; Shelley and McAllister 2006, 2007; Shelley et al., 2003, 2004, 2005a, 2005b, 2006; McAllister and Robison, 2009). Herein, we provide two state records for introduced julids from Texas as well as 21 county records for other taxa from Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. During October 2002-November 2009, we followed techniques of McAllister and Robison (2009) in collecting millipeds from sites in Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. Specimens were placed in vials containing 70% ethanol and, following preliminary identification, shipped to R. M. Shelley at the North Carolina State Museum of Natural Sciences, Raleigh, for verification of identifications and deposition of vouchers. Below, taxonomy is in phylogenetic order according to Shelley (2003a).
