81. Polydesmus complanatus (Linnaeus, 1761) Julus complanatus Linnaeus, 1761 Polydesmus complanatus: C. L. Koch, 1844 Polydesmus complanatus illyricus (Verhoeff, 1893): Schubart 1934 The most common Polydesmus species in Hungary, dispersed in almost every kind of habitat, including anthropogenic ones. In natural biotopes it is mostly confined to dead treetrunks, living usually under the bark. 82. Polydesmus polonicus Latzel, 1884 The species is known from the Carpathian Mts, in the territories joint by the countries Poland, Ukraine, Slovakia, and Romania. There are only two specimens recorded from Hungary (Korsos 1989). Its distribution can possibly be explained by unpublished data from the plains of East Slovakia and Ukraine (Golovatch, pers. com.). 83. Polydesmus denticulatus C. L. Koch, 1847 A widespread species throughout Europe, except the Mediterranean region. In Hungary it is abundant in moist forests, under bark, sometimes together with the following species. 84. Polydesmus schaessburgensis Verhoeff, 1898 A montane species described from the Eastern Carpathian Mts, Romania. In Hungary it can be found in cold, relict bog forests (e. g. Ocsa, Dabas, and Tőserdő at Lakitelek). Its habitat is basically the same as that of P. denticulatus but this is less abundant. 85. Polydesmus monticola (Latzel, 1884) Polydesmus complanatus var. monticola Latzel, 1884 Polydesmus monticola: Verhoeff 1907 It is known only from a subspecies: ssp. koszegensis Loksa, 1954, from Western Hungary, 600 m a.s.l. (mentioned already by Szalay 1943, 1944, as the nominal form). 86. Polydesmus edentulus C. L. Koch, 1847 Its nominal form is reported from Mt. Kovácsi, Western Hungary (Loksa 1961b). The form Polydesmus edentulus bidentatus f. hungarica was described by Loksa (1958), from Szakonyfalu at the Austrian border. Bibliography of Hungarian myriapodology Allodiatoris, I.
