Abstract

The widespread Indochinese millipede, Niponia kometis (Attems, 1938), is abundantly illustrated from type material and shown to be senior to Trichopeltis deharvengi Golovatch, Geoffroy, Mauriès and VandenSpiegel, 2010, syn. n. et comb. n. ex Pseudoniponiella. The following formal generic synonymy is also proposed: Trichopeltis Pocock, 1894 = Pseudoniponiella Verhoeff, 1942, syn. n.
