thumb | right | A pair of Haasea flavescens Haasea is a genus of millipedes in the family Haaseidae. This genus is the largest in this family, with 17 accepted species. Millipedes in this genus have either 28 or 30 segments (counting the collum as the first segment and the telson as the last).
== Distribution == Millipedes in this genus are widespread in central Europe, with a distribution across about 650 km from the Harz mountains in northern Germany down to the Durmitor massif in Montenegro, and from Luxembourg and the French-Swiss border across to the Eastern Carpathian mountains in Romania. Most species appear in the Alps and the Dinarides, also extending to the Bohemian massif, the Ore mountains, the Sudeten mountains, and both the Western and Eastern Carpathian mountains, across the Pannonian Basin, and to the Southern Carpathian mountains and the Balkan mountains. Although these millipedes are found in most of the Alps, they are absent from the Western Alps, including the Pennine Alps.
