This milliped is Cambala annulata (Say, 1821) (order Spirostreptida: family Cambalidae), which ranges from western PA to Jackson Co., FL (the Co. where FL, AL, & GA come together) and extends eastward to the inner Coastal Plain. It occurs sympatrically (together with) another species in the Blue Ridge Physiographic Province of NC & TN. It is a large-bodied species of Cambala as is the other in the Blue Ridge, but to the west from IL/IN to AL & TX, narrower-bodied species occur that are around the size of a pencil lead. Species of Cambala occur in caves in the Ozarks & TX, and surface members range northward through Colorado to Idaho & western Washington. The genus also occurs near the Pacific Coast in Oregon.
