Golovatchiidae is a family of millipedes belonging to the order Chordeumatida.[1] This family contains a single species, Golovatchia magda.[2] This species ranges from 15 mm to 17 mm in length and is found in the Russian Far East.[3] Adult millipedes of this species have 30 segments (including the collum, the telson, and the rings in between).[2] In the adult male of this species, the gonopod complex involves three leg pairs (pairs 8 through 10) rather than just the two (pairs 8 and 9) that are usually modified into gonopods this order.[2]
