Schismaglomeris is a genus of pill millipede found in Portugal. [1] The genus is known only from Karl Wilhelm Verhoeff's original description. It is possibly a synonym of Haploglomeris. The genus currently contains only one known species, Schismaglomeris occultocolorata. [2]

Description

Male Schismaglomeris millipedes have well-developed, conical trichosteles on the prefemur and femur of their telopods, with those of the prefemora being particular long. [3]
