We present a checklist and distributional analysis ofspirostreptid millipedes in the Taita Hills region of Kenya. We recorded a total of nine species in this area, of which three in the genera Bucinogonus, Lophostreptus, and Tibiozus? are new to sc ience and described herein. No species was collected from all 12 isolated forest fragments in the Taita Hill s. The most common and widely distributed species were Tibiozus? vulgaris and Lophostreptus ptilostreptoides, which were collected in eight and five localities, respectively. Three species - Archispirostreptus gigas, Lophostreptus
armatus, and Lophostreptus minimus - were collected from only one loca lity outside of the forest, in grassland. Our observations suggest that most of the millipede species in this region were probably widely distributed in the Taita
Hills prior to fragmentation of the forest.
