KORSÓS, Budapest Abstract — Part of the diplopod types (100 type specimens belonging to 35 taxa) deposited in the Zoological Department of the Hungarian Natural History Museum are listed with data on publications of the original descriptions and on the circumstances of acquisition of the type specimens. The latest curator of the myriapod collection in the Hungarian Natural History Museum was DR. L. SZALAY. After his retirement and death, several visitors to the Museum have studied the centipede and millipede material. The following lists contain data on diplopod types deposited in the Zoological Department of the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest. Part of the collection is under study and will be the subject of separate communications. — The first list consists of exactly 100 type specimens of 35 recent diplopod taxa. The sequence is given by the alphabetical order of the specific names. After the name of the species the following data are entered: 1. Author's name and year of description. 2. Original use of binominal name. 3. Citation of description. 4. Type locality. 5. In parentheses: collector's name and year of collection (for lack of the latter: year of registration, marked with asterisk). 6. Inventory number/total number of specimens of the taxon. 7. In parentheses: type category. The next systematic list contains the species according to the families to which they were originally assigned by the authors. Three species are separated because the authors assigned them to no family in the original publications. Validity and status of the listed taxa in the modern system will be the subject of future publications. Finally, in the concluding part of this paper the literature cited is restricted to the list of publications in which the authors originally described the species in question.
