Possible Nearctodesmidae - Nearctodesmus
Spipiyus Provincial Park, Sunshine Coast, British Columbia, Canada
June 10, 2020
Found this flat-backed millipede at about 1000 M elevation under a rock in Spipiyus Provincial Park. Am incredibly curious to know more and from what I can find it looks good for Nearctodesmidae, wondering if it's possible to ID to species or at the very least confirm Genus.

I believe it is Nearctodesmus salix, but I am not as familiar with millipedes in your area.
