Resumen
LAURITO, César A. y VALERIO, Ana L.. The first fossil record of a myriapoda (polydesmida) from the late pleistocene locality of la Palmera de San Carlos, Alajuela province, Costa Rica. Rev. Geol. Amér. Central [online]. 2018, n.58, pp.179-187. ISSN 0256-7024. http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/rgac.v58i0.32848.
For the first time is recorded a millipede (Diplopoda, Polydesmida) fossil material from Costa Rica and Central America; this material was recovered from travertine sedimentary rocks and was associated to osseous remains of several species of fossil mice as well as abundant flora fossil from the late Pleistocene. The fossil remains are basically disarticulated trunk segments and are closely related to present-day genus Nyssodesmus Cook, 1896.
