Philodromidae, also known as philodromid crab spiders and running crab spiders, is a family of araneomorph spiders first described by Tord Tamerlan Teodor Thorell in 1870. It contains over 600 species in thirty genera. Most are dull colored- brown, gray, yellowish or mottled with a leaf-like cardiac mark on the anterior dorsal abdomen, and seldom reach above 10 millimetres (0.39 in) long. None of the species build webs, but they do use silk for draglines and egg sacs.
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.
Alloporus is a genus of giant millipedes that live in deserts. It contains the following species:
Orthoporus is a genus of spirostreptid millipedes, containing around 80 species, distributed from the southern United States to Brazil and Argentina.
Antichiropus is a genus of millipede in the family Paradoxosomatidae. The genus is very distinctive in the form of the gonopod, which is typically coiled through at least a full circle. It is probably endemic to Australia. Some species have small ranges of less than 10000 km2, classifying them as short-range endemic invertebrates.
Orthomorpha is a genus of millipedes in the family Paradoxosomatidae containing approximately 50 species distributed in Southeast Asia.
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.
Xenobolus carnifex is a species of spirobolidan millipede found in South India and Sri Lanka. It is a common species and can become a household pest, infesting and damaging thatched roofs, creating a "continual shower of faecal pellets", and invading food and water supplies. X. carnifex ranges from 58 to 65 mm in length, with 48 to 50 body segments. The body color is dark or black, with a band of red or pink running down the dorsal midline.
Xenobolus is a genus of millipedes in the family Pachybolidae, containing two species found in India and Sri Lanka. The species are unusual within the Pachybolidae in being boldly colored with red bands or spots on a blackish background color.
Parafontaria is a genus of "flat-backed" millipedes consisting of 13 species native to Japan, where they are referred to as train millipedes. This is because some species exhibit periodical swarming behavior during which large numbers congregate and can impact train passage when this congregation occurs on tracks. Documentation of this event goes back to 1920. Individuals vary from around 3.5 to 6 cm as adults, and feed on leaf litter as well as soil, making them comparable to earthworms in facilitating decomposition and soil nutrient cycling.
Chondromorpha xanthotricha, is a species of millipedes in the family Paradoxosomatidae. It is native to South India and Sri Lanka. Two subspecies recognized.
Ktenostreptus rugulosus, is a species of round-backed millipede in the family Harpagophoridae. It is endemic to Sri Lanka.
Ktenostreptus specularis, is a species of round-backed millipede in the family Harpagophoridae. It is endemic to Sri Lanka.
Thyropygus poseidon, is a species of round-backed millipede in the family Harpagophoridae. It is endemic to Sri Lanka.
Anoplodesmus is a genus of millipedes. It is one of the most species rich genera in the family Paradoxosomatidae, with over 40 described species distributed from India and Nepal to China and Southeast Asia, as well as the Mascarene Islands and Fiji.
Akamptogonus is a genus of flat-backed millipedes in the family Paradoxosomatidae. There are about 11 described species in Akamptogonus.
Ophyiulus is a genus of millipedes in the family Julidae. There are more than 30 described species in Ophyiulus.
Rhinotus is a genus of millipedes in the family Siphonotidae. There are at least 20 described species in Rhinotus.
Spirobolellidae is a family of millipedes in the order Spirobolida. There are about 11 genera and more than 100 described species in Spirobolellidae.
