Unknown Millipede - Bollmaniulus

Unknown Millipede - Bollmaniulus
Damascus, Clackamas County, Oregon, USA
October 11, 2015
Size: 1.5-2 inches
Hi, Bugguide

I found this species hiding under leaf litter in a healthy douglas fir/big-leaf maple forest with sword fern and oregon grape undergrowth. The millipede was curled up when I found it, but eventually it uncoiled and crawled down into the dirt. I saw some species that look close to this millipede in the guide (http://bugguide.net/node/view/82232), and they were identified as Blaniulus guttulatus. Do any of you have an idea about what this little fellow might be?

Thanks for your help,
Phil
