Millipede genera

Charactopygus is a genus of millipedes in the family Spirostreptidae. They are found in East Africa and Madagascar.

Chondromorpha is a genus of millipedes belonging to the family Paradoxosomatidae.

Prosopodesmus is a genus of flat-backed millipedes in the family Haplodesmidae. These millipedes are found primarily in Australia and southern Japan. This genus includes the species P. panporus, which is notable for exhibiting sexual dimorphism in segment number: Whereas adult females of this species feature the usual 20 segments (counting the collum as the first segment and the telson as the last) usually observed in the order Polydesmida, the adult males of this species feature only 19 segments.

Rhopalomeris is a genus of pill millipede found in Indochina.

Brevitibius is a genus of millipedes in the family Spirostreptidae. It contains the following species: Brevitibius angolanus Brevitibius obtusus Brevitibius ondundu Brevitibius oongongololo Brevitibius polyptychus

Brachydesmus is a genus of millipedes belonging to the family Polydesmidae. The Czech zoologist Camill Heller first described this genus to contain the type species B. subterraneus. This genus now includes about 75 described species.

Nopoiulus is a genus of millipedes belonging to the family Blaniulidae.

Urochordeuma is a genus of millipedes in the order Chordeumatida and the only genus in the family Urochordeumatidae. Adult millipedes in this family have 30 segments (counting the collum as the first segment and the telson as the last). The two species are known from the U.S. state of Washington, where U. bumpusi is known from Pierce County, and U. porona from King County.

Orthoporus is a genus of spirostreptid millipedes, containing around 80 species, distributed from the southern United States to Brazil and Argentina.

Sphaerobelum is a genus of giant pill-millipedes in the family Zephroniidae, endemic to Southeast Asia, with most species occurring in Thailand, Laos and Vietnam. Members of this genus are characterised by volvation, jewel-like coloration and distinct morphological adaptations. Several species are restricted to limestone karsts and forested habitats and recent molecular studies confirm the genus' distinctness from closely related genera such as Zephronia.

Parafontaria is a genus of "flat-backed" millipedes (order Polydesmida) consisting of 14 species native to Japan and Korea. Parafontaria laminata armigera, formerly called train millipedes, has been synonymized with P. laminata. This is because some populations exhibit periodical swarming behavior during which large numbers congregate and can impact train passage when this congregation occurs on tracks. Documentation of this event goes back to 1920. Individuals vary from around as adults, and feed on leaf litter as well as soil, making them comparable to earthworms in facilitating decompositio

Spelaeoglomeris is a genus of pill millipede found in France and Spain.

Leptoiulus is a genus of millipedes belonging to the family Julidae.

Aulodesmus is a genus of millipedes belonging to the family Gomphodesmidae.

genus of myriapods

Eumastigonus is a genus of millipede, endemic to New Zealand. They are large, long, generally brown, and important in breaking down nutrients and rotting matter in the ecosystem. There are at least 8 species. They were described initially by Chamberlin in 1920. Along with other families and orders of millipedes in New Zealand, this genus is poorly known and there are many undescribed species. Identification to the species level in the field may often be impossible.

Rhinotus is a genus of millipedes in the family Siphonotidae. There are at least 20 described species of the family Rhinotus.

Monographis is a terrestrial genus of millipede in the family Polyxenidae comprising 10 species.

Eutrichodesmus is a genus of millipedes in the family Haplodesmidae. Containing 54 species, this genus is among the genera with the greatest number of species not only in the family Haplodesmidae but also in the order Polydesmida. This genus includes the species E. peculiaris, notable for featuring sexual dimorphism in segment number: The adult females have 20 segments (counting the collum as the first segment and the telson as the last), but the adult males have only 19 segments. Millipedes in this genus are found in southern Japan, Taiwan, southern China, mainland Southeast Asia, Indonesia,

Tylobolus is a genus of millipedes in the order Spirobolida with seven known species found in western North America. It is in the family Spirobolidae, and is the type genus of the subfamily Tylobolinae. The genus was named by Orator F. Cook in 1904.

Thalassisobates is a genus of millipedes.

Onychoglomeris is a genus of pill millipede found in North Italy and the Balkans. In 1971, Onychoglomeris tyrolensis, then Glomeris tyrolensis, was designated as the genus's type species.

Spiromimus is a genus of millipedes in the family Pachybolidae. They mostly live in rainforests and dry land.

Rhymogona is a genus of millipedes belonging to the family Craspedosomatidae.

Trachysphaera species are patchily distributed throughout Europe and western Asia, extending from Spain to Caucasia. Members of this genus are tiny, with modified appearances resembling that of calcareous stones.

Attemsostreptus is a genus of millipedes in the family Spirostreptidae. It contains the following species: Attemsostreptus cataractae Attemsostreptus costatus Attemsostreptus julostriatus Attemsostreptus leptoptilos Attemsostreptus reflexus

In North America they are found in the Pacific coastal region from Oregon to southern California and in eastern regions including the southern Appalachian Mountains, the Cumberland Plateau, the Ozark Mountains, and parts of the Gulf Coastal Plain. Species in this genus are often referred to as "feather millipedes" due to their shape.

Antichiropus is a genus of millipede in the family Paradoxosomatidae. The genus is very distinctive in the form of the gonopod, which is typically coiled through at least a full circle. It is probably endemic to Australia. Some species have small ranges of less than 10000 km2, classifying them as short-range endemic invertebrates.
