Siphonophorida
Siphonophorida (Greek language, Greek for "tube bearer") is an order of millipedes containing two families and over 100 species. Description Millipedes in the order Siphonophorida are long and worm-like, reaching up to in length and up to 190 body segments. Eyes are absent, and in many species the head is elongated into a long beak, with mandibles highly reduced. The beak may serve in a suctorial function. The body has a dense covering of fine setae. Each body segment consists of a dorsal tergite, two lateral pleurites, and ventral sternite, which are unfused. The male reproductive appendages (gonopod (millipede), gonopods) are simple and leg-like, consisting of the ninth and 10th leg pairs. This lack of specialization has led to Siphonophorida being called a "taxonomist's nightmare", and C.A.W. Jeekel, Jeekel (cited in) jokingly gave the order the "taxonomists' award for least popular group among diplopods". Distribution Siphonophorida occurs from southwestern USA to Brazil a ...

Illacme
''Illacme'' is a genus of millipedes in the family Siphonorhinidae. It includes two species. ''Illacme plenipes'' was first described in 1928 from San Benito County, California, and rediscovered in 2005. In 2016, ''Illacme tobini'' was described based on a single male specimen collected in 2006 from Lange Cave, in Sequoia National Park Sequoia National Park is an American national park in the southern Sierra Nevada (U.S.), Sierra Nevada east of Visalia, California. The park was established on September 25, 1890, and today protects of forested mountainous terrain. Encompassing ..., east of the known habitat for ''I. plenipes''.

Millipedes Of North America
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] |
