Callipodida
Callipodida is an order of millipedes containing around 130 species, many characterized by crests or ridges. Description Callipodida are long and narrow millipedes, up to in length with 40-60 body segments. A dorsal groove is present running down the mid-line of the body, and many species are ornamented with longitudinal crests or ridges. Sexually mature males possess a single pair of gonopods, consisting of the modified anterior leg pair of the 7th body segment, and carried concealed within a pouch. Distribution Callipodida occurs in North America, Europe, west Asia, southern China and Southeast Asia. Classification The living (extant) Callipodida are classified into three suborders, seven families, and approximately 130 species. The genus '' Sinocallipus'', which constitutes the suborder Sinocallipodidea, is thought to be the most primitive, and a sister group to all other callipodans. A fourth, extinct, suborder was described in 2019 to accommodate '' Burmanopetalum inex ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Sinocallipus
''Sinocallipus '' is a genus of predominantly cave-dwelling millipedes in the order Callipodida. Five of the six known species are found in limestone caves on the Indochinese Peninsula from Vietnam to southern China, and it is the only callipodidan genus entirely confined to the tropics. Individuals range from long and possess 55 to 70 segments. ''Sinocallipus'' is the sole taxon of the callipodidan suborder Sinocallipodidea, and thought to be the most primitive and sister group to all other callipodidans. In contrast to many other millipede groups, the gonopods (reproductive legs) of ''Sinocallipus'' show little variation between species, while other characters such as color, size, and other body parts differ more noticeably between species. Species All species except ''S. thai'' have been collected solely from caves, and show troglomorphic (cave-adapted) traits such as pale coloration, long antennae, and long legs. ''S. jaegeri'' and ''S. simplipodicus'' show reduced eyes, con ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Millipede
Millipedes are a group of arthropods that are characterised by having two pairs of jointed legs on most body segments; they are known scientifically as the class Diplopoda, the name derived from this feature. Each double-legged segment is a result of two single segments fused together. Most millipedes have very elongated cylindrical or flattened bodies with more than 20 segments, while pill millipedes are shorter and can roll into a tight ball. Although the name "millipede" derives from the Latin for "thousand feet", no species was known to have 1,000 or more until the discovery of ''Eumillipes persephone'', which can have over 1,300 legs. There are approximately 12,000 named species classified into 16 orders and around 140 families, making Diplopoda the largest class of myriapods, an arthropod group which also includes centipedes and other multi-legged creatures. Most millipedes are slow-moving detritivores, eating decaying leaves and other dead plant matter. Some eat fungi or ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Burmanopetalidae
''Burmanopetalum'' is an extinct genus of millipede containing the single species ''Burmanopetalum inexpectatum'' from the Cretaceous of Myanmar. It is a member of the order Callipodida and is the only member of the suborder Burmanopetalidea and family Burmanopetalidae. Description The holotype adult female specimen is just over 8 millimetres long, which is extremely small for the order, it is distinguished by the presence of 35 cylindrical body rings with free sternites and fused tergites, among other characters. Discovery The specimen was discovered in Burmese amber, a productive amber deposit in Kachin State, which has been dated to earliest Cenomanian The Cenomanian is, in the ICS' geological timescale, the oldest or earliest age of the Late Cretaceous Epoch or the lowest stage of the Upper Cretaceous Series.
