Description

Epiromeris millipedes are medium-sized and pigmented, without dorsal markings. [2] They possess eyes. Their body is composed of 12 free tergites, with the last two unfused. Their tergites have a rough, granular texture, and the surface is matte, without luster. The preanal shield has a straight back edge, though females possess a large bump in the middle, which distinguishes them from other similar species. Epiromeris is also distinguished by deep pits between body segments.

Species

The Epiromeris genus currently contains only one known species. [1]
