Catalogue of millepodes of Somogy county (Diplopoda) ZOLTÁN KORSÓS Similarly to whole Hungary, there are relatively few records of millipedes (Diplopoda) with special regards to the fauna of Somogy county, South-western Hungary. In addition to the data extracted from previous general faunistical works (LATZEL 1884, DADAY 1889, DADAY 1896, JERMY 1942, SZIRÁKI 1966), special reports about the millipedes of some parts of the county (Bares: LOKSA 1981, Drava Region: KORSÓS 1995, 1997, 1998) are summarized here, yielding a total number of 40 species. This represents a relatively high ratio (41.2 %) of the complete Hungarian Diplopoda fauna, reaching almost 50 % with eight more species expected from the neighbouring counties! It is not only the high number of species which illustrates the richness of the fauna of Somogy county ; the composition of species is also remarkable, with occurrences of Mediterranean, Atlantic and Continental faunal elements. Some of the species reach here the western-, northern- or easternmost edge of their distribution. Interesting species are: Haasea hungarica, Allajulus dicentrus, Allajulus groedensis, Cylindroimus abaligetanus, Styrioiulus pelidnus, Xestoiulus imbecillus, Aestoiulus laeticollis, Polydesmus collaris, and Polydesmus edentulus. If we consider how much more unidentified material are housed in local natural history collections, and that some remote parts of the county are still unexplored as to their soil fauna, it is maybe not an exaggeration that from the myriapodological point of view Somogy county is perhaps the most interesting and promising region of Hungary!
