Field Notes

Description:

FROM KEN...The millipede can't be ID'ed without a look at the male genitalia, but the two choices are Heterocladosoma sp. and Solaenodolichopus sp., both family Paradoxosomatidae, order Polydesmida. I'm betting it's the latter genus.

Hi -- Here is a comment from a Millipede expert: The millipede can't be ID'ed without a look at the male genitalia, but the two choices are Heterocladosoma sp. and Solaenodolichopus sp., both family Paradoxosomatidae, order Polydesmida. I'm betting it's the latter genus. Here is a great website about Australian millipedes: http://www.polydesmida.info/polydesmida/ Cheers, Ken
