Spirobolida
Spirobolida is an order of "round-backed" millipedes containing approximately 500 species in 12 families. Its members are distinguished by the presence of a "pronounced suture that runs "vertically down the front of the head". Most of the species live in the tropics, and many are brightly coloured. Mature males have two pairs of modified legs, the gonopods, consisting of the 8th and 9th leg pair: the posterior gonopods are used in sperm-transfer while the anterior gonopods are fused into a single plate-like structure. The families are divided into two suborders: Suborder Spirobolidea * Allopocockiidae * Atopetholidae *Floridobolidae * Hoffmanobolidae * Messicobolidae * Pseudospirobolellidae * Rhinocricidae * Spirobolellidae *Spirobolidae * Typhlobolellidae Suborder Trigoniulidea * Pachybolidae * Trigoniulidae Select species *''Narceus americanus ''Narceus americanus'' is a large millipede of eastern North America.

Floridobolidae
''Floridobolus'' is a genus of millipedes commonly known as Florida scrub millipedes containing three described species: ''Floridobolus penneri'', ''F. orini'', and ''F. floydi''; the latter two described in 2014. All three species are endemic to Florida scrub habitat of peninsular Florida, and ''F. penneri'' is considered a critically imperiled species by NatureServe. Prior to the description of ''F. orini'', the genus (then only a single species) was considered the sole member of the family Floridobolidae, named by William T. Keeton in 1959, however studies in 2014 have argued that ''Floridobolus'' does not represent a distinct family but rather is a basal member of the family Spirobolidae, representing the subfamily Floridobolinae, and tribe Floridobolini. Description Species of ''Floridobolus'' range from long with 45 to 50 body rings or segments as adults. The body is not purely cylindrical, but rather is widest around the 12th or 13th rings, and tapers towards the head a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Millipede Orders
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 d ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
