Furcillaria aequalis is listed by some references as a North American species of flat-backed millipede in the family Xystodesmidae. [1] [2] In 2021, however, authorities deemed Furcillaria to be a junior synonym of Sigmoria . [3] Accordingly, other references accept this synonymy and consider Sigmoria aequalis to be the valid name for this species. [4] [5] [6]
