Abstract

Voigtländer, K., Lindner, E. N.: Chilopods and diplopods of the Bode Gorge. Contributions to themyriapod fauna of the Harz Mountains. - Hercynia N. F. 45 (2012): 145 – 157.The millipede and centipede fauna of the Bode Gorge within Harz Mountains (Saxony-Anhalt) betweenTreseburg and Wendefurth including its plateau and upper shelf as well as the Luppbode Valley near Allrodewas investigated using pitfall traps from 1997 to 2000. The catches were complemented by recenthand sampling. Altogether 15 chilopod and 22 diplopod species could be recorded. This is nearly thehalf of the known species inventory of Saxony-Anhalt. The occurrence of some rare species is discussed.The boulder scree slopes and the alder riparian forests are especially valuable and worthy of protection.Key words: Diplopoda, Chilopoda, pitfall trapping, rare species, red list, Saxony-Anhalt
