Fuhrmannodesmidae
Fuhrmannodesmidae is a family of millipedes belonging to the order Polydesmida. The family includes over 50 genera.[1] This family includes three species (Hexadesmus lateridens, Agenodesmus reticulatus, and Eutynellus flavior) notable for being among the very few species in this order to feature adults with only 18 segments (including the telson) rather than the 20 segments usually found in polydesmids.[2] This family is also notable for including several genera (e.g., Cyclopsodesmus, Cylindrogonus, and Leigonopus) that exhibit sexual dimorphism in segment number: adult females in these genera have the usual 20 segments, but adult males have only 19.[2][3]
