Moved from Xystodesmidae.

I would lean towards Pleuroloma flavipes based on the wrinkled dorsum.

Neither A.t. or B.s. occurs anywhere remotedly close to where this millipede was seen. This is probably Apheloria virginiensis reducta or Pleuroloma flavipes, both of which occur in AR & MO. A. tigana occurs in central NC and B. stricta occurs in the southern Appa;achians generally south of the James River, plus there is an allopatric population in the Kings/Crowders Mtn. inselberg on the NC/SC borderr along I-85 S of Gastonia, NC.

I do not think it is Apheloria tigana, they usually have a few middorsal spots.

It does look similar to Boraria stricta, but seems a little far West of normal range.

I'll wait for Dr. Shelley or Derek to chime in.
