This is the second contribution to the fauna of the millipede order Spirobolida of the southwestern Pacific based on the collections of the Zoological Museum of the Moscow State University (ZMUM), Russia. This time it is devoted to descriptions of two new species of Spirobolellus Pocock, 1894, Spirobolellidae, a diverse family that mainly occurs in the Indo-Australian region [Jeekel, 2001; Minelli, 2015]. Our previous contribution dealt with a new species of Pachybolidae from Papua New Guinea [Golovatch et al., 2020]. The samples were collected in 1976 and 1977 by Yuriy I. Chernov and Galina F. Kurcheva during two expeditions on board the research vessels “Kallisto” and “Dmitry Mendeleyev”, respectively, to several islands and archipelagos in the southwestern Pacific. The genus Spirobolellus presently comprises ca. 80 species occurring in the Indo-Pacific and Caribbean realms. The distribution ranges across Indonesia (Sumatra, Java, Sulawesi and the Moluccas), through Caroline Islands, Micronesia, to eastern Australia, Lord Howe Island, New Caledonia, Loyalty Islands and New ABSTRACT. Two new species of the millipede genus Spirobolellus are described: S. kurtschevae sp.n. from Lou Island, Admiralty Islands, Papua New Guinea, and S. tschernovi sp.n. from Norfolk Island, New South Wales, Australia. Because the telopodite of the anterior gonopods on the caudal face is swollen and directed not laterad, but mesad, S. tschernovi sp.n. seems to share this peculiar feature only with S. antipodarum (? = S. reischeki). This also allows us to confirm that Desmocricellus Attems, 1953 is a junior subjective synonym of Spirobolellus Pocock, 1894. How to cite this article: Golovatch S.I., Mauriès J.P., Akkari N. 2020.
