The large, South and Southeast Asian millipede genus Anoplodesmus is rediagnosed and here reported from Taiwan for the first time, with two new, apparently northeasternmost species involved: A. spiniger sp. nov. and A. aspinosus sp. nov. Both of these congeners differ from each other primarily in several details of gonopod structure. “Takao”, the type locality of Geniculodesmus inexpectatus (Attems, 1944), is here rectified as actually being the same as Kaohsiung, Taiwan, not “Mount Takao, Hachiouji-shi, Tokyo Prefecture, Japan”.
