Moved
Moved from Xystodesmidae. Thanks to the excellent photograph of the gonopods, we can ID this as Sigmoria disjuncta, a new species to the guide. The species is only known from a few spots in northern GA and western SC, so great find! You can compare the gonopods with the illustration in Shelley 1981, found here courtesy of the BHL.

Moved for expert attention
Moved from Millipedes.
