Is that a new one for the guide
Is that a new one for the guide. I couldn't find it. I would be curious about serratus's range as I have grown an interest in the millipedes that can be found in my county. I'm getting a macro lens so I can get photos of the important parts for positive id's very soon.

Dr. Shelley has ID'd several as probable Pseudopolydesmus serratus, but I don't think a guide page has been made yet, one of the editors would need to do that.
