Nearctodesmidae vs. Scytonotus
Even better! That makes a total of ten species for the site (I wonder what the record is!).

I posted another similar millipede a few months ago that you said was a nearctodesmid: http://bugguide.net/node/view/1156619. I see these nearctodesmid/scytonotus millipedes frequently when I'm doing surveys at the site. Do you have any tips on how to reliably separate them in the field?
