ABSTRACT. Results are presented of a taxonomic treatment of Diplopoda collected, mainly recently, in European Russia and the Caucasus. These concern 52 species or subspecies from 31 genera, 12 families and seven orders. New faunistic information is provided, allowing for the distribution of a number of millipede species to be refined, as well as illustrations of several forms. Strongylosoma lenkoranum Attems, 1898 is formally new to the fauna of and introduced to the Volga region, eastern European Russia. Incidentally, Brachyiulus lusitanus Verhoeff, 1898 is formally new to the faunas of Israel and Ethiopia.
KEY WORDS: faunistics, distribution, iconography.
