with a rough, pustulate dorsum, this isn't Harpaphe. More likely Xystocheir or a new species!

rough surface on millipede
I've added several more images lacking dew that might help clarify. I could send you a live specimen if desired.

rough surface on millipede
I believe those features are probably all tiny dew drops, embellished with a pattern from my camera's ring flash.
I'll make it a point of getting additional imagery with clarification in mind.

pustulate or just moisture?
I'm not certain, but I think some or all of the roughened appearance might be dew drops, especially those on the anterior segments here.
