Antichiropus is a genus of millipede in the family Paradoxosomatidae. The genus is very distinctive in the form of the gonopod, which is typically coiled through at least a full circle.[1] It is probably endemic to Australia . Some species have small ranges of less than 10000 km2, classifying them as short-range endemic invertebrates.
