SPECIES ACCOUNTS 
Polyxenidae 
Polyxenus fasciculatus Say, 1821 
Polyxenus fasciculatus, a small, pale milliped, was recovered from 
pine and mixed pine-hardwood litter using Berlese funnels but was absent 
from hardwood litter. More adults and juveniles were taken in July than 
in October or April. Previous North Carolina records are from Duke 
Forest (Brimley 1938; Wray 1967) and the eastern Piedmont in general 
(Shelley 1978). The species is known to range from Long Island through 
the southeastern and midwestern United States to Texas (Chamberlin 
and Hoffman 1958). The presence of P. fasciculatus in the Appalachian 
Mountains is questionable, since Chamberlin and Hoffman (1958) re- 
ported it absent or very scarce there.
