Onychoglomeris


Onychoglomeris is a genus of pill millipede found in North Italy and the Balkans. In 1971, Onychoglomeris tyrolensis, then Glomeris tyrolensis, was designated as the genus's type species.

Description

Onychoglomeris range in coloration from whitish to brownish and lack a defined color pattern. The first and second male telopods lack trichosteles. The second telopod segment bears a large lobe-like projection, forming a pincer-like chela with segments three and four. Leg pair 17 consists of six podomeres with spiracles. The genus may contain the largest species of the order, which is 20-25 mm in length.
