Chamberlineptus morechalensis, the sole species of the genus Chamberlineptus is a spirostreptid millipede from Venezuela. Individuals are around 10 cm (3.9 in) long and 5.4 to 7 mm (0.21 to 0.28 in) in diameter.[1] C. morechalensis was described in 1954 by Nell B. Causey, described as similar to the spirostreptid Andineptus in the structure of the gonopods (male reproductive appendages).[1] However, J. M. Demange (1970) and Jean-Paul Mauriès (1975) considered both Chamberlineptus and Andineptus to be taxonomic synonyms, or at least subgenera, of Orthoporus.[2][3]
