Biology:Caralinda
From HandWiki
Caralinda is a North American genus of millipedes belonging to the family Xystodesmidae.[1] Its range extends from the coastal plain of southern South Carolina southwest to the Florida panhandle, with known occurrences in South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and Alabama.[2][3][4] It is primarily winter-active.[3]
Caralinda is small-bodied, ranging between 16–24 mm long.[3] Its color is generally beige, with a distinct dark middorsal line and two longitudinal dark speckled bands near the bases of the paranota. This coloration may be characteristic of the genus.[5]
At least one species of Caralinda has been documented to display aggregation behavior similar to Pleuroloma flavipes.[5][6]
