Description
A new species of the oligotypic millipede genus Tymbodesmus is described from Cameroon: T. golovatchi sp.n. It is distinguished by the presence of a single spine on the gonopod nodus and the absence of a paxillus on body segment 15. New material of the type-species T. figlinus Cook, 1899, previously known in Cameroon only from the littoral region (Kumba Mundame ), is also illustrated.
