Neoatractosomatidae is a family of millipedes belonging to the order Chordeumatida. This family includes about two dozen species distributed among nine genera. These millipedes are found in southern central Europe and the Balkans.
== Description == Millipedes in this family range from 6 mm to 18 mm in length. These millipedes have 28 or 30 segments (counting the collum as the first segment and the telson as the last). The anterior gonopods in this family feature a pair of flagella or bunches of rods. The posterior gonopods feature no flagella, and the distal elements (telopodites) of these gonopods are reduced to erect stumps.
