Introduction

The Sikhote-Alin State Nature Biosphere Reserve is the largest specially protected natural area in the south of the Russian Far East. It was founded in 1935. The reserve is located on the eastern and western slopes of the central Sikhote-Alin mountain range. The main part of the reserve territory is located within two administrative districts of the Primorsky Krai: Terneysky (eastern macroslope) and Kras-noarmeysky (western macroslope). A small portion of the south-west segment (natural landmark Abrek) belongs to the Dalnegorsky District. The Sikhote-Alin State Nature Biosphere Reserve extends from the coast of the Sea of Japan more than 90 kilometers inland. Currently, the area of its territory is more than 400.000 ha, including sea area.

Mountain slopes of different steepness occupy up to 80% of the reserve territory. The gentle and wide western slopes and short steep eastern ones distinguish the Sikhote-Alin relief. Medium-high mountains with elevations of 500-800 m a.s.l. are dominants in the reserve territory; the highest point is the Glukhomanka Mountain (1598 m a.s.l.). Leveled areas occupy little (about 20%) of the reserve territory; these are mainly river and stream valleys. The density of the reserve hy-drographic network is on average 0.7-0.9 km per 1 km2. The majority of the rivers are located on the eastern macroslope. Serebryanka, Dzhigitovka and Taiezhnaya are the largest rivers. The flow of these rivers is fast, there are many rocky rapids, and sometimes small waterfalls. The largest river of the western macroslope of the middle Sikhote-Alin is the Kolumbe, it belongs to the Amur River basin. It is a calmer river with extensive stretches of deep water and wide swampy valleys.

The monsoon climate is caused by the interaction of marine and continental air masses. The western and eastern macroslopes within the Sikhote-Alin Nature Biosphere Reserve differ substantially by the main climate parameters. The climate of the eastern macroslope is characterized by high humidity due to the constant influence of the Sea

of Japan and the Pacific Ocean. The climate of the isolated from marine influence western macroslope is more continental (Vasiliev et al. 1985; Pimenova 2016a; 2016b).

97% of the reserve's area is covered by forests. Pinus koraiensis, Picea ajanensis and Quercus mongolica are the dominant tree species of forest ecosystems. They occupy more than 70% of the forest vegetation of the reserve (Pimenova 2016c).

Knowledge of the millipede fauna of the Sikhote-Alin State Nature Biosphere Reserve is still patchy and incomplete. The first data on diplopods of the territory derive from the paper by Mikhaljova (1990) in which one new species was described. Later she described two other new species (Mikhaljova 1997a). The review of the millipede fauna of Siberia and the Far East of Russia refers to 10 species recorded in the Sikhote-Alin Biosphere Reserve (Mikhaljova 1993). One of these species (Diplomaragna kuruma Mikhaljova, 1997) was transferred to Pacifiosoma (Mikhaljova 2000). Also, another additional species was mentioned from the reserve territory (Mikhaljova 1997b). In addition, the first ecological observations of general millipede abundance and of the species composition in oakwood ecosystems of the Sikhote-Alin Biosphere Reserve appeared as well (Gromyko 1990). Data on some millipedes are contained in the general survey of the reserve's invertebrates (Gromyko, Potikha 2006). The regional reviews by Mikhaljova (1998; 2004; 2017) include information on the distribution ranges of diplopod species occurring in the Sikhote-Alin Biosphere Reserve.

Material and methods

All material treated here is deposited in the collections of the Federal Scientific Center of the East Asia Terrestrial Biodiversity, Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Vladivostok, Russia (FSCB). Specimens are kept in 70-75% ethanol. In the process of studying the material, the gonopods and some other parts were dissected from the males and mounted in glycerin as temporary micro-preparations. Specimens were studied and il-

lustrated using standard stereomicroscopic (MBS-1) and drawing equipment (RA-6).

SEM micrographs were prepared at the Centre of Collective Use "Biotechnology and Gene Engineering" of the FSCB using a Merlin 62-15 scanning electron microscope. Mounts for SEM were made through air-drying after the transfer to acetone via 96% alcohol, mounting on stubs, and coating with carbon. After the examination, SEM material was removed from stubs and returned to alcohol.

The family-level classification adopted here is that of Shelley (2003). Publication and synonymy lists of each species include the literature references for the Sikhote-Alin State Nature Biosphere Reserve only.

All the natural landmarks in the Sikhote-Alin Nature Reserve are areas of its territory traditionally designated; they are tied to the reserve's cordons and include parts of the basins of the main rivers or large streams (Pimenova 2016d). The natural landmarks:

Material. Russia: 6 specimens (FSCB), Primorsky Krai, Sikhote-Alin State Nature Biosphere Reserve, Yasnaya, Quercus forest, 28.05.1985, leg. M. N. Gromyko.

Remarks. This material still requires a closer determination. At present, only the family Polyxenidae and the genus Polyxenus Latreille, 1802/1803 are known from the Asian part of Russia: Polyxenus sp. belonging to the Polyxenus shinoharai Ishii, 1983 group was recorded in Lazovsky District, Primorsky Krai (M. Short's [Deakin University, Australia] personal communication).

Above material is a second find of representatives of Polyxenida taxa in the territories lying between the Ural Mountains in the west and the Pacific Ocean in the east. These specimens most likely belong to the same genus and species group. The reason that we venture to determine these specimens as belonging to Polyxenus is geographical evidence.

te-Alin Reserve, the unusual structure of their gonopods has been revealed (see Figs 16, 20). The gonopods differs in the configuration of the posterior angiocoxal processes with the very high apical oval outgrowths (a) (vs not high apical oval outgrowth according to the original description and re-description by Shear) and with broad mesal protrusions (m) carrying finger-shaped processes (b) directed to body dorsum (vs finger-shaped processes directed strictly forward according to the redescription by Shear).

Additional investigation of males of this species from different territories of the Pri-morsky and Khabarovsky Krai allowed discovering of the specific variations in the go-nopod structure of D. terricolor. The basic diagnostic characters of D. terricolor are the

configuration of the posterior gonopod's posterior angiocoxal process with arms and outgrowths of different size, and the architecture of the colpocoxite distal part. The above material appears to show certain variation exactly in the configuration of the posterior angiocoxal process. Thus, the apical oval outgrowth (a) of posterior angiocoxal process ranges from very low to very high (Figs. 1-16). Also, the finger-shaped process (b) is straight (Figs. 11, 12, 16) or more (Figs. 1-3, 5-6, 8-9, 13) or less (Figs. 4, 7, 10, 14, 15) strongly curved forward; its length varies too.

In addition, the variation of the coxal process of the male leg 11 (p) is revealed. Thus, its size ranges from small to large (Figs. 2124). An increase in the size of this coxal process correlates with an increase in the size of

the apical oval outgrowth (a) (see Figs. 13 and 21; 16 and 24). Moreover, we can distinguish two distinct extreme forms of the gonopods + male coxae 11. The first form (males from the Anuchinsky District of the Primorsky Krai and from the environs of Ko Mountain, the Khabarovsky Krai): a very low apical oval outgrowth (a) of the posterior angiocoxal process, a strongly curved forward process b, a small coxal process of leg 11 (Figs. 1, 2, 13, 17, 21). The second form (males from the Blagodatnoe, Sikhote-Alin Nature Reserve,): a very high apical oval outgrowth (a) of the posterior angiocoxal process, straight (directed to dorsum) process b, large coxal process of leg 11 (Figs. 12, 16, 20, 24). The differences between these extreme forms are linked by a complete series of transitions. At

that, the gonopods of a male from the flood-plain terrace of the Yasnaya River (Sikhote-Alin Reserve) (Fig. 9) belong to an intermediate transitional form in contrast to the second extreme gonopod form of the males from Blagodatnoe (Sikhote-Alin Reserve). It should be noted that the second gonopod form and forms close to one are more common for males of the eastern part of the Primorsky Krai. While the first gonopod form and forms close to one were mainly recorded in males from the central and southern parts of the Primorsky Krai as well as in the male from the south of Khabarovsky Krai. However, both forms can occur together. For example, males of two opposite forms (Figs. 6, 11) were found together in the same locality of the Popova Island, south of Primorsky Krai.

The species is rather variable. However, the present material being unrepresentative, we have preferred not to make conclusion on the nature of variability. An investigation of this phenomenon is a very considerable project in itself, which can only be realized in future with further accumulation of abundant, representative material and using molecular genetic methods too. Now, it can only be assumed that the morphological variability of this species is due to the different ecological conditions of the eastern, southern and central territories of the Primorsky Krai and the Khabarovsky Krai.

Also, it is necessary to add to the description of D. terricolor the presence of a process on the male coxa 11 since this character was omitted in the re-description of D. terricolor (see Shear 1990).

Conclusion

At present, 17 species from 15 genera, 9 families and 5 orders of Diplopoda are known from the Sikhote-Alin State Nature Biosphere Reserve. This is 36.9% of the total number of millipede species inhabiting the Pimorsky Krai. Three species are new to the reserve fauna. Rather this pattern expresses the degree of diplopod fauna study.

Generally, the reserve fauna of Diplopoda is relatively original. At the species level, the endemism amounts to at least 18.2% of the

total number of millipede species occurring there. Three species (Levizonus distinctus, Diplomaragna zimoveinaya, Pacifiosoma ku-ruma) are known from the Sikhote-Alin State Nature Biosphere Reserve only. Most of the species that populate the Sikhote-Alin State Nature Biosphere Reserve can be attributed to the Manchurian distribution pattern, which includes the Primorsky Krai, the southern part of the Khabarovsky Krai, the Amur Oblast, the Jewish Autonomous Oblast, Northeast China, and Korea. Only three species (Orientyla dahurica as well as parthe-nogenetic Pacifiiulus amurensis and Under-woodia kurtschevae) show wider distributions; both O. dahurica and P amurensis are also known from Siberia while U. kurtschevae also from the Kamchatka Peninsula.

Underwoodia is a genus showing a trans-Beringian distribution pattern (Golovatch 1980). Orientyla and Pacifiiulus are endemic to the Asian part of Russia.

The order Polydesmida is definitely dominant in the diplopod fauna of the reserve. It is represented by three families, five genera and six species. Families Paradoxosomatidae and Polydesmidae include the species being quite common in the southern part of the Russian Far East and the adjacent territories. However, family Xystodesmidae is represented by both Levizonus distinctus, endemic to the reserve, and by Levizonus malewitschi known from the central-eastern part of the Primorsky Krai only. The orders Polyzoniida and Polyxenida are the smallest; they include one species each.

The distribution of Diplopoda in the Sikhote-Alin State Nature Biosphere Reserve (Map) shows four of the species (Sichotanus eurygaster, Underwoodia kurtschevae, Sklero-protopus coreanus, Pacifiiulus amurensis) as being common and occurring at 8-10 natural landmarks of the reserve. Three species (Levizonus distinctus, Kopidoiulus continen-talis, Angarozonium bonum) are recorded in 4-7 natural landmarks. The remaining species tend to be more local in distribution. Of course, our map is provisional, reflecting the state of the art and the distribution of collecting efforts.

Millipedes occur in most of the biotopes, only excluding the steppe sea terrace within the natural landmark of Blagodatnoe (Gro-myko, Potikha 2006). Millipede abundance is a variable characteristic. Thus, it ranges from 0.2 to 4.1 ind./m2 in different dry Quercus forests, and from 23.3 to 57.1 ind./m2 in different humid Quercus forests (Gromyko 1990). Levizonus distinctus is the most numerous species; its maximum numbers (more 30 ind./m2) were registered in the valley with Pinus ko-raiensis forests (Gromyko, Poltikha 2006).
