Millotauropus is a genus of pauropods, comprising the monotypic family Millotauropodidae in the monotypic order Hexamerocerata. Eight species are known.[1][2] Species of Hexamerocerata are characterized by a 12-segmented body, a 6-segmented antenna, and having at most 11 pairs of walking legs as adults. Additionally, Hexamerocerata possess tracheae on the bases of their first pair of legs, a feature lacked in all other pauropods (those comprising the larger order Tetramerocerata).[1] The body is white and individuals are usually larger than those in Tetramerocerata. Hexamerocerata are found in the tropics of Brazil, continental Africa, Madagascar, and Seychelles, as well as Japan.[1][2]
