Hyleoglomeris is a genus of pill millipede with approximately 100 species widely distributed from Europe to East Asia. [1] They typically dwell in warm-temperate to tropical climates, with at least two dozen species dwelling in caves. [2]
Hyleoglomeris millipedes range in size from 5 to 16 mm in body length, with widely varying body coloration among species. [3]
The genus can be distinguished from other Doderiinae genera by the presence of only four apical cones on the antennae, a higher number of striae on the thoracic shield, the presence of trichosteles (or bristle-like structures) on segments 1-3 of the male telopods, and a specialized apical outgrowth on telopoditomere 2.
