Brown, peach, and yellow coloration. Main body color is brown, with peach on the paranota. I'm leaning towards Xystodesmidae for the family. Fluoresces under UV light.

I guess it must be Semionellu
I guess it must be Semionellus placidus (Polydesmida: Xystodesmidae), which belongs to the tribe Chonaphini otherwise found exclusively in the Pacific Northwest of the US & Canada, west of the Continental Divide. I sqay this based on the body; can't make out the gonopods, which should be rotated 90o clockwise so they will stand straight up and make for easier viewing. They sort of look like S.p. but not completely. Rowland Shelley
