Important bits
One of the important bits is the appendages on the seventh segment. Males have one of the two pairs of legs on this segment modified into sexual organs and the shape of those organs is used for ID. Your millipede appears to have only one pair of true legs on that segment, so I think it is male.

This is order Polydesmida.
