中国南方洞穴中倍足类的多样性非常高，每个洞穴通常有5-6种，主要由当地特有种和推测的穴居动物组成。这些显然只偏向于少数几个谱系，主要是Chordeumatida和Callipodida的成员，Cambalopsidae（Spirostreptida）和Haplodesmidae（Polydesmida）或Pacidesmus，Epanerchodus和Glenniea（所有Polydesmida，Polydesmidae），Trichopeltis（Polydesmida，Cryptodesmidae），Dexmoxytes（Polydesmida，Paramyosomatidae）和Hyleoglomeris（Glomerida，Glomeridae）。所有这些分类群，特别是Paramorosomatidae和Cambalopsidae（通常分别占东方动物群总物种多样性的60%和10%），在东南亚都是中度到高度物种化的，主要是上位的。然而，中国南方的上部倍足类的研究还很不足，因为大部分的收集和分类勘探工作仍然集中在洞穴。东方区是全球唯一一个包含所有16个倍足目的地理区域，其中14个已经在中国和/或印度支那的邻近地区发现。因此，中国实际上可能有不少于1,000种不同起源的千足虫，主要是东方和古北界的。
The diversity of Diplopoda in caves of southern China is remarkably high, often 5–6 species per cave, consisting mostly of local endemics and presumed troglobionts. These are evidently biased to just a few lineages, mainly members of the orders Chordeumatida and Callipodida, the families Cambalopsidae (Spirostreptida) and Haplodesmidae (Polydesmida) or the genera Pacidesmus, Epanerchodus and Glenniea (all Polydesmida, Polydesmidae), Trichopeltis (Polydesmida, Cryptodesmidae), Dexmoxytes (Polydesmida, Paradoxosomatidae) and Hyleoglomeris (Glomerida, Glomeridae). All these taxa, especially the Paradoxosomatidae and Cambalopsidae (usually amounting to about 60% and 10% of the total species diversity in the Oriental fauna, respectively), are moderately to highly speciose across Southeast Asia, being largely epigean. However, the epigean Diplopoda of southern China are yet badly understudied, since much of the collecting and taxonomic exploration efforts still focus on cavernicoles. The Oriental Region is the only biogeographic realm globally that harbours all 16 orders of Diplopoda, of which 14 have already been encountered in China and/or the immediately adjacent parts of Indochina. Thus, China may actually prove to support no less than 1,000 millipede species of various origins, mainly Oriental and Palaearctic.
