Ophyiulus is a genus of millipedes in the family Julidae. There are more than 30 described species in Ophyiulus. [1] [2] [3] [4]
These 32 species belong to the genus Ophyiulus:
Lithobius is a large genus of centipedes in the family Lithobiidae, commonly called stone centipedes, common centipedes or brown centipedes.
Carl August Graf Attems-Petzenstein was an Austrian myriapodologist and invertebrate zoologist. He published 138 scientific papers, most of them dealing with his specialist field, the myriapods. He described about 1800 new species and subspecies from all over the world.
Myriapodology is the scientific study of myriapods which includes centipedes and millipedes. The field of myriapodology can also cover other myriapods such as pauropods and symphylans. Those who study myriapods are myriapodologists.
Spirostreptus is a genus of giant millipedes of the family Spirostreptidae. It contains the following species:
Julida is an order of millipedes. Members are mostly small and cylindrical, typically ranging from 10–120 millimetres (0.39–4.72 in) in length. Eyes may be present or absent, and in mature males of many species, the first pair of legs is modified into hook-like structures. Additionally, both pairs of legs on the 7th body segment of males are modified into gonopods.
Zephroniidae is a family of giant pill millipedes in the taxonomic order Sphaerotheriida. They occur in southeast Asia from the Himalayas and China south and east to Sulawesi and to Australia, and also inhabit some Philippine islands.
Pachyiulus is a genus of julid millipedes containing the following species:
Pachymerium is a genus of centipedes in the family Geophilidae, containing the following species:
Polyxenidae is a family of millipedes in the order Polyxenida containing approximately 47 species in 19 genera.
Chordeumatida is a large order of millipedes containing some 1200 species with a nearly worldwide distribution. They possess around 30 body segments and reach about 25 mm (0.98 in) in length.
Siphonophoridae is a family of millipede in the order Siphonophorida. There are about 12 genera and more than 110 described species in Siphonophoridae.
Andrognathidae is a family of millipede in the order Platydesmida. There are about 17 genera and more than 30 described species in Andrognathidae.
Robert Latzel was an Austrian myriapodologist and entomologist who published a series of pioneering works on millipedes, centipedes, and allies. His collection of myriapod specimens, today housed in the Natural History Museum of Vienna, includes many type specimens. His monographs on the myriapods of the Austro-Hungarian Empire were the first comprehensive treatments of the large region's centipede and millipede faunas. He named nearly 130 taxa of millipedes and over 40 centipede groups, as well as four taxa each of pauropods and symphylans. His work on millipedes pioneered the use of gonopods in millipede classification and species recognition. At least three authors have honored Latzel by naming a genus Latzelia.
Anethoporus is a genus of spirostreptid millipedes native to northern South America, where they range from Peru to the islands of Trinidad and Tobago. The genus and type species, A. clarki, was established by Ralph V. Chamberlin in 1918.
Pachydesmus is a genus of flat-backed millipedes in the family Xystodesmidae. There are about 12 described species in Pachydesmus.
Ophyiulus pilosus is a species of millipede in the family Julidae. It is found in North America.
Rhinotus is a genus of millipedes in the family Siphonotidae. There are at least 20 described species in Rhinotus.
Oxidus is a genus of flat-backed millipedes in the family Paradoxosomatidae. There are about nine described species in Oxidus.
Trigoniulus is a genus of millipede in the family Trigoniulidae. There are at least 90 described species in Trigoniulus.
Dorypetalum is a genus of millipedes in the family Dorypetalidae. The seven species of Dorypetalum are found throughout the Balkan peninsula, the Carpathian mountains and Asia Minor.
