Rhopalomeris is a genus of pill millipede found in Indochina. [1]
Rhopalomeris millipedes have distinctive antennae, with the sixth segment being unusually enlarged, nearly as long as the 3rd through 5th segments combined. [2] This sixth segment is club-shaped.
Rhopalomeris millipedes have 13 smooth tergites.
Males have large telepodites on their 18th leg pair. This pair also possesses gonopods with stylus-shaped setae on the prefemur/femur. These gonopods also feature a strong inner femoral process, as well as femoral and tibial lobes extending into horn-like, curved, membranous processes. The tarsus is conspicuously curved backward, with the usual claw setae.
