    ABSTRACT
    An annotated checklist of the Millipedes hitherto documented from Cameroon is provided after 128 years, based both on old and recent records. A total of 106 species in 5 orders, 15 families and 41 genera are known yet from Cameroon. This class of Myriapoda is very rich, with more than 70% of the species being likely to be endemic to the country. Twenty-three new distribution records and 31 new species recently described are also provided. Although the present list is provisional and insufficient, it aims to offer a basis for further studies on Cameroonian millipede fauna.
