Abstract
This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Snyder, Bruce A., Shear, William A. (2025): Four new species of Cleidogona Cook & Collins, 1895 (Diplopoda: Chordeumatida: Cleidogonidae) from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, USA. Zootaxa 5722 (2): 249-264, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5722.2.5, URL: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5722.2.5AbstractWe provide an update to our knowledge of the millipede fauna of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, North Carolina and Tennessee, USA. In addition to one new park record (Cleidogona jocassee Hoffman, 1950a), we describe four new species of millipedes: Cleidogona chilhoweensis sp. nov., Cleidogona columbicauda sp. nov., Cleidogona hendrixi sp. nov., and Cleidogona sparta sp. nov. These bring the number of described Cleidogona to 93 and Cleidogona known from the park to 10 species.
