from Rowland M. Shelley:
"[This] is what I think may be a new species of Apheloria (Polydesmida: Xystodesmidae); I've seen and examined a few of these myself, and the yellow banded color pattern should not be on anything in that area."

Xystodesmidae?
The millipede looks like Xystodesmidae. Mites are too small to ID, probably.
