Biology:Anthroleucosomatidae

From HandWiki

Anthroleucosomatidae is a family of millipedes in the order Chordeumatida.[1][2] This family includes more than 100 species distributed among 40 genera.[3] This family has a mostly Holarctic distribution, with the greatest diversity in the area around the Mediterranean sea.[4]

Description

These millipedes range from 3.5 mm to 28 mm in length. Both the anterior and posterior gonopods lack flagella. The posterior gonopods are much simpler, with a strong plate-like sternum and normally one to three segments.[4] Adult millipedes in this family have 26, 28, 30, or 31 segments (counting the collum as the first segment and the telson as the last).[5][4] This family includes Metamastigophorophyllon, notable as the only chordeumatidan genus with 31 segments.[6][5]
