Boraria is a genus of flat-backed millipedes in the family Xystodesmidae. There are about seven described species in Boraria. [1] [2] [3] [4]
These seven species belong to the genus Boraria:
Xystodesmidae is a family of millipedes. Its members often have very small distributional areas, with many species only known from a single locality. They are found across the northern hemisphere, with peak diversity in the Appalachian Mountains, where one-third of the 300 or so species occur. They are particularly abundant in deciduous broadleaf forests in the Mediterranean Basin, Africa, Asia, Central and North America, and Russia. Information on basic taxonomy is scant for this family; for example, it is estimated that the genus Nannaria contains over 200 species, but only 25 were described as of 2006. By 2022, 78 species in Nannaria have been described.
Euryurus is a genus of flat-backed millipedes in the family Euryuridae. There are about 14 described species in Euryurus.
Pachydesmus is a genus of flat-backed millipedes in the family Xystodesmidae. There are about 12 described species in Pachydesmus.
Petaserpes is a genus of millipedes in the family Polyzoniidae. There are about six described species in Petaserpes.
The genus Nannaria, commonly known as twisted-claw millipedes, is a genus of millipedes in the family Xystodesmidae first described by Ralph Chamberlin in 1918. In 2022, entomologists Derek Hennen, Jackson Means and Paul Marek discovered and described 17 new species, which expanded the size of Nannaria to 78, making it the largest genus of Xystodesmidae.
Chonaphini is a tribe of flat-backed millipedes in the family Xystodesmidae. There are about 6 genera and 19 described species in Chonaphini.
Ptyoiulus is a genus of millipedes in the family Parajulidae. There are about seven described species in Ptyoiulus.
Kepolydesmus is a genus of flat-backed millipedes in the family Nearctodesmidae. There are at least four described species in Kepolydesmus.
Oriulus is a genus of millipedes in the family Parajulidae. There are about eight described species in Oriulus.
Montaphe is a genus of flat-backed millipedes in the family Xystodesmidae. There are at least two described species in Montaphe.
Desmonus is a genus of flat-backed millipedes in the family Sphaeriodesmidae. There are about 10 described species in Desmonus.
Bdellozonium is a genus of millipedes in the family Polyzoniidae. There are at least four described species in Bdellozonium.
Atopetholus is a genus of millipedes in the family Atopetholidae. There are about eight described species in Atopetholus.
