Abstract
This paper summarizes the distribution, provides a
taxonomic bibliography from 1758 to 2002, and
lists all available species, generic names, and synonymies
of the family Rhinocricidae (Diplopoda:
Spirobolida). At present, there are 528 nominal species and 23
subspecies of Rhinocricidae placed
in 27 genera and 3 subgenera. One new combination is
proposed: Rhinocricus obesus
rubicundus
is transferred to Anadenobolus
[Anadenobolus obesus
rubicundus (Brölemann,
1905)].
