Chordeumida
I'm assuming that this is the same as Chordeumatida? I can't find anything that specifically says so. Your images looks just like the image of Abacion sp in my Spider and Their Kin guide. Which now looks like it has been reclassified to Abacionidae? See

Looks like you found it to me...

It looks like the Chordeumatida millipedes we have up here in New Hampshire but this one was quite large in comparison & its shell was sculpted, as you can see, in contrast to the smooth-bodied little guys we have.
