Metopidiotrichidae
Metopidiotrichidae is a family of millipedes in the order Chordeumatida. Adult millipedes in this family have 32 segments (counting the collum as the first segment and the telson as the last), not the 30 segments usually found in this order.[1][2] Adult males in this family (e.g., Reginaterreuma monroei, R. daviesae, R. unicolor, R. major, and Neocambrisoma raveni) often feature a reduced or vestigial leg pair 10 as part of the gonopod complex, in addition to the two leg pairs (pairs 8 and 9) typically modified into gonopods in this order.[3][4] There are about 9 genera and at least 70 described species in Metopidiotrichidae.[5][6][7]
