A new Lissodesmus Chamberlin, 1920 from Tasmania, Australia (Diplopoda, Polydesmida, Dalodesmidae)

Lissodesmus meunna sp. n. co-occurs with Lissodesmus latus Mesibov, 2006 and Lissodesmus perporosus Jeekel, 1984 near Meunna in northwestern Tasmania. It is smaller and paler in colour than the other two Lissodesmus species and has a normal pore formula and an unbranched femoral process on the gonopod telopodite.
