This is a species of the endemic North American genus Pseudopolydesmus (order Polydesmida: family Polydesmidae). It superficially resembles the introduced European species of the genus Polydesmus, hence the generic name, but comparing this photo with those of the introduced Polydesmuses found in urban environments, you will notice that the dorsum is flatter and smoother.
