Kirkayakidae is a family of millipedes belonging to the order Chordeumatida.[1] This family was formerly known as Altajellidae.[2] Adult millipedes in this family have 28 segments (counting the collum as the first segment and the telson as the last) rather than the 30 segments usually found in chordeumatidans.[3]
Taxonomy
The family contains the following four genera:[1][4]
- Elongeuma Golovatch, 1982
- Kirkayakus Özdikmen, 2008
- Tarbagataya Golovatch & Wytwer, 2003
- Teleckophoron Gulička, 1972
This family was previously known as Altajellidae before genus Altajella was synonymised with Kirkayakus.[1][5]
