Chordeumatida Pocock 1894
No full textOrder Chordeumatida Pocock, 1894 Family undetermined (3) New records. 1?, BuB0974; 1?, BuB1978; 1 M, BuB2978. Identification. Chordeumatida can be identified based on the presence of 25–31 tergites with a dorsal suture, an anal segment carrying 4 spinnerets, and tergites with 3+3 characteristic macrosetae (Enghoff et al. 2015). The order has many recent families, which in most cases can only be identified based on a careful examinations of the male copulatory legs.Published as part of Wesener, Thomas & Moritz, Leif, 2018, Checklist of the Myriapoda in Cretaceous Burmese amber and a correction of the Myriapoda identified by Zhang (2017), pp. 1131-1140 in Check List 14 (6) on page 1135, DOI: 10.15560/14.6.113

Glomeridesmidae Latzel 1884
No full textFamily Glomeridesmidae Latzel, 1884 (3) New records. 1 M, ZFMK MYR06117; 1 M, BuB2423; 1?, BuB3285. Figure 1A Identification. Members of the Glomeridesmida, family Glomeridesmidae can be easily identified by the following head characteristics: the absence of ommatidia, a large Tömösváry organ which is circular. Furthermore, their body consists of 19 tergites plus anal shield (Enghoff et al. 2015). The determination can be further confirmed by the presence of well-developed and visible telopods as 2 of the specimens are males. The specimens also fit in all characters to the recent members of the family Glomeridesmidae; the only other family of the Glomeridesmida, Termitodesmidae, is morphologically strongly derived (Enghoff et al. 2015).Published as part of Wesener, Thomas & Moritz, Leif, 2018, Checklist of the Myriapoda in Cretaceous Burmese amber and a correction of the Myriapoda identified by Zhang (2017), pp. 1131-1140 in Check List 14 (6) on page 1133, DOI: 10.15560/14.6.113

Diagnosis Electrocambala gen. nov. differs from Kachincambala gen. nov. by the presence of an accessory spine on the tarsus (Figs 1E, 3G). The anterior gonopod carries two rounded coxal lobes, the coxite is as long as the telopodite, and the outer lobe of the coxite is ⅓ as long as the inner lobe. The apex of the posterior gonopod is curved anteriorly, creating an open channel (Fig. 1G–H). Etymology As for the family. Feminine.
