03FD87F7FFBFFFEBFF7CFD177D089AF5.taxon	materials_examined	Type specimen. Male holotype (SMNH) taken by an unknown collector on an unknown date prior to 1876 at an unspecified site in Brazil, which constitutes a generalized indication (Jeekel 2009 a). The species has not been subsequently recorded from this country, so all citations of Brazilian occurrence refer to Porat’s (1876) original account.	en	Shelley, Rowland M.

03FD87F7FFBFFFEBFF7CFD177D089AF5.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. A moderate-size, gonopodally variable species of Anadenobolus with ~ 45 rings, length ~ 45 mm, maximum width ~ 4.2 mm. Color black with variably yellowish to lime-green bands encircling caudal pleurotergal margins and anterior and caudal margins of collum. Epiproct (Fig. 1) variably long, apically rounded, overhanging and extending variably beyond paraproctal margins. Sternum of anterior gonopods (Fig. 2) variably subtriangular, broad basally and narrowing distad, sides often indented, with or without rounded medial lobe extending to around level of distal telopodital extremities, often terminating either slightly short of or beyond latter; telopodites apically rounded and uncinate. Posterior gonopods (Fig. 2 – 3) long, extending in situ well beyond distal extremities of anterior gonopod sternum / telopodites, usually protruding through pleurotergal aperture and visible externally; telopodites biramous, curving gently mediad, broad basally, narrow for most of length, flared distad; solenomeres arising from anteriomedial surfaces at varying positions distal to midlengths, extending ventromediad to or just beyond levels of tibiotarsal apices, subparallel to or overlapping latter, either sublinear, curving gently distad, or bisinuate; tibiotarsi continuing general telopodital curvatures, flared distad, dorsal corners varying from blunt and not extended to variably prolonged, acuminate, and even falcate.	en	Shelley, Rowland M.

03FD87F7FFBFFFEBFF7CFD177D089AF5.taxon	description	Variation. The gonopods of Caribbean rhinocricids are less definitive of species than those of most regional diplopod families. Those of forms that do not seem conspecific with A. monilicornis because of more robust bodies and epiproctal differences closely resemble fig. 2 – 3, for example A. arboreus (Saussure, 1859) based on published illustrations (Saussure 1860, pl. 4, fig. 28, 28 a – d; Pocock 1894, pl. 38, fig. 4; Verhoeff 1941, fig. 14 – 16). If I had only the gonopods of A. arboreus, I would unhesitatingly equate them with A. monilicornis, but the different overall facies, more robust body, and short epiproct that does not overhang the paraprocts in some Puerto Rican individuals, appear to reflect another species. Consequently, A. monilicornis seems definable more by a combination of gonopodal and somatic traits than by the former alone, and contrasting the species with congeners is not currently possible. The most distinctive somatic feature is the blunt epiproct that overhangs and extends beyond the paraproctal margins (Fig. 1), either directly caudad or slanting ventrad. Jeekel (2009 a) considered the epiproct’s shape a “ minor detail, ” and if so, A. monilicornis and all its synonyms could seemingly go under A. arboreus, the oldest name for an Antillean species. Perhaps there is indeed only one Caribbean species of Anadenobolus; this possibility seems to warrant molecular investigation. The variably subtriangular sternum dominates the anterior gonopods and terminates around the level of the telopodital apices, but may be slightly shorter or longer. It may be a virtually perfect triangle (Jeekel 2009 a, fig. 1), particularly in juveniles (Pocock 1894, pl. 38, fig. 7, 11; Jeekel 2009 a, fig. 3 K), or the sides may bulge variably laterad at 1 / 3 length and / or be variably indented distad. If the latter concavity is substantial, the tip may be wider, appear swollen, and thus impart a “ bottle-shaped ” appearance to the overall structure. Every sternum exhibits aspects, some subtle, of these multiple variables, resulting in a confused and seemingly random melange of forms. All posterior gonopod telopodites are long, slender, and curve smoothly and gently mediad; otherwise each is at least slightly different. Solenomeres may arise closer to the tibiotarsi than shown in fig. 3 and may be subequal in length to, or slightly shorter or longer than, the latter. Many are gently bisinuate (Fig. 3) and directed at nearly the same angles as, and lie subparallel to, the tibiotarsi; some, however, angle ventrad and overlie tibiotarsal apices. Breadths of tibiotarsal expansions vary as do their angles, though most resemble the condition in the holotype; the dorsal corners, moderately prolonged and acuminate in this male, may be short and blunt, more prolonged, filiform, gently curved, and even falcate. Seemingly any condition in any of these structures may be found in any combination in any set of gonopods, and even males in the same sample can exhibit differences. Samples from numerous localities, particularly on different islands, present an inscrutable puzzle that understandably baffled early authors. I concur with Jeekel (2009 a) that the most reasonable of the many possible anatomically-based resolutions is to consider all these variants conspecific and define A. monilicornis as encompassing the gamut of their conditions. To date, many nominal species have been based on minuscule or trivial features, like “ blips ” on tibiotarsal flares, that specialists would unquestioningly ignore in other orders and families as I believe should happen here. A similar situation seems to also exist in the Caribbean spirostreptid (Spirostreptida), Orthoporus antillanus (Pocock, 1894) (Krabbe and Enghoff 1984).	en	Shelley, Rowland M.

03FD87F7FFBFFFEBFF7CFD177D089AF5.taxon	biology_ecology	Ecology. According to Mauriès (1980), A. monilicornis is common in more arid zones of Guadeloupe, but I have encountered individuals in Florida and St. Croix, US Virgin Islands, in moist spots and under virtually any object. Habitat notations on labels of new samples include “ dead on floor in men’s gym shower, ” “ in mountain forest, ” “ under potted plant in nursery, ” “ under bricks and debris, ” “ in forest litter, ” and “ along fence bordering a nursery. ” Characterizations of infestations in Florida include “ inside, outside, everywhere including lights on ceilings ” (Shelley and Edwards 2002); “ occurring in large numbers throughout historic and new buildings on property, climbing second story walls of historic stone house stairway ”; “ plentiful outside around house and sidewalk and getting inside ”; “ in mulch on ground ”; and “ severe infestation, thousands found on walls, floors, and ceilings, cannot walk in some rooms without stepping on them. ”	en	Shelley, Rowland M.

03FD87F7FFBFFFEBFF7CFD177D089AF5.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Most of the Greater and Lesser Antilles derive from a long, curved terrane that rifted from northern coastal “ proto-South America ” at the interface of the Cretaceous Period (Mesozoic Era) and the Paleocene (Cenozoic) (Smith et al. 1994, Shelley and Golovatch 2011, Shelley and Martinez-Torres 2013). The terrane drifted northward, rotated, and fragmented, and the progeny of the original diplopod inhabitants now occupy the insular remains. Because A. monilicornis occurs today from eastern coastal Venezuela to central Suriname (Fig. 4), we can reasonably conclude that ancestral forms inhabited the corresponding sector of the terrane and that remnants of this indigenous population were partitioned on, and hence native to, an unknown number of mostly southern Antillean islands. The abundance of A. monilicornis on fragments closest to South America – Trinidad, Tobago, and offshore Venezuelan islands – supports this hypothesis as does its apparent absence from Cuba (de la Torre y Callejas 1974, González Oliver and Golovatch 1990, Pérez-Asso 1998), deriving from the westernmost sector of the terrane, as the corresponding part of northern South America also lacks records. Deciphering the true natural distribution of A. monilicornis is impossible. It is so readily spread by human activities that the distribution prior to discovery of the New World has surely been obliterated by repeated introductions; I doubt if purely indigenous populations still exist, their genomes having been diluted by the influx of exogenous ones. The populations in Florida, Bermuda, Barbados, and the Cayman Islands, which were not part of the Antillean terrane, are clearly adventive as is that on Jamaica, which is concentrated around Kingston, the island’s principal port and commercial center. However, ones on Hispaniola, Puerto Rico, the Lesser Antilles, and South America and associated islands probably include both native and adventive forms. The holotype is both the only type specimen (Porat 1876) and the only Brazilian individual. Schubart never reported it from that country, but his gonopodal illustrations of the Brazilian species – Rhinocricus varians Brölemann, 1902, and R. avanhandavae, R. serratulus, R. restingae, and R. bromelicola, all by Schubart (1951), resemble those in Fig. 2 – 3 and may constitute additional synonyms. Examining all relevant types and reported samples is well beyond my scope, so I accept all published localities and map them and new ones in Fig. 4. Jeekel (2009 a) characterized A. monilicornis as a “ widespread synanthrope in the West Indies and tropical South America, ” but the only South American records are from eastern coastal Venezuela to central Surinam; no evidence exists of adventive or native occurrences elsewhere in the continent, tropical or not. The milliped has not been recorded from the Bahamas, Turks and Caicos, Cuba, Central America, western Caribbean islands, and northwestern South America; is absent from Colombia and western / central Venezuela; and no records exist from French Guiana despite plausible coastal occurrence around Cayenne. Anadenobolus monilicornis is spreading northward in Florida and now ranges from the southern peninsula through the arc of the Greater and Lesser Antilles (excepting Cuba but including Barbados) to Trinidad, offshore Venezuelan islands, and eastern coastal Venezuela to central Surinam, with outlier localities on Bermuda, the Florida panhandle, the Cayman Islands, and Jamaica. The plausible indigenous, “ pre - Columbus, ” range extends from Hispaniola and Puerto Rico through the Lesser Antillean Arc (excepting Barbados) to the same terminus. Published Records. General Range Statements: “ One of three or four rather widely distributed West Indian spirobolids, being recorded from six islands ” (Loomis 1936). “ Widely distributed in Caribbean region, doubtless anthropochoric ” (Hoffman 1999). “ At least from Hispaniola and Bermuda to Venezuela and Guyana ” and “ described from Brazil, from where it was never recorded again ” (Jeekel 2009 a).	en	Shelley, Rowland M.

Three Adventive Populations: Florida: The introduction of Rhinocricidae to Florida is a rare instance when an invasion can be approximately timed and its progress monitored. The first encounter, in 1959, was a female on Pine Island, Lee Co., that did not lead to established populations there or on the peninsula proper. However, A. monilicornis was on the Keys in huge numbers in 2001; I visited Plantation Key Nursery in 2002, and while not openly evident, individuals were under every sizeable object on the ground. They have also been encountered at nurseries in Miami-Dade and Collier cos., are photographically documented online from Palm Beach and Pinellas cos., and a detached record exists from Liberty Co. in the eastern panhandle. Samples from the interior of south Florida are lacking, but in June 2014, some 13 years after the initial invasion, a subcontinuous population appears to exist in the south Florida Keys and northward along both coasts to at least the southern latitude of Lake Okeechobee. Bermuda: The Bermuda islands lie east-southeast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, due east of Fripp Island, South Carolina, and ~ 1,600 km (1,000 mi) north of Puerto Rico, the closest Caribbean island harboring A. monilicornis. Lacking any contact ever with a Caribbean island, human agency seems the only plausible manner that A. monilicornis could reach Bermuda, since the Bahamas and Turks and Caicos, lying between it and Puerto Rico, would probably block rafting via ocean currents. Barbados: Though considered part of the Lesser Antilles, Barbados lies in the Atlantic Ocean roughly 168 km (104 mi) east of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. It is composed primarily of coral reefs established atop sedimentation resulting from tectonic subduction. Barbados was not part of the Antillean terrane and has never directly contacted a Caribbean island. Human agency is plausibly responsible for most of its A. monilicornis population, though rafting may have contributed.	en	Shelley, Rowland M.

The citation of Daday (1889) for Spirobolus virescens (Marek et al. 2003) is incorrect; the account is actually in Daday (1891). Monkeys at Monkey Jungle in Miami were observed rubbing A. monilicornis in their fur, presumably to acquire defensive secretions as a mosquito / insect repellant. Valderrama et al. (2000) noted this behavior among capuchin monkeys (Cebus olivaceus) with Orthoporus dorsovittatus (Verhoeff, 1938) (Spirostreptida: Spirostreptidae) in a central Venezuelan reserve as did Weldon et al. (2003) and Buden et al (2004) with both wild and captive capuchins. The active ingredients of O. dorsovittatus ’ secretions are benzoquinones, and whereas those of A. monilicornis are unknown, these compounds are present in rhinocricid secretions, as shown by Moussatché et al. (1969) for the Brazilian species, R. varians Brölemann, 1901, and the Oceanian, Acladocricus setigerus (Silvestri, 1897).	en	Shelley, Rowland M.
