Description
editThese millipedes range from 3.5 mm to 28 mm in length. Both the anterior and posterior gonopods lack flagella. The posterior gonopods are much simpler, with a strong plate-like sternum and normally one to three segments.[4] Adult millipedes in this family have 26, 28, 30, or 31 segments (counting the collum as the first segment and the telson as the last).[5][4] This family includes Metamastigophorophyllon, notable as the only chordeumatidan genus with 31 segments.[6][5]
