Not Eurymerodesmus; a represe
Not Eurymerodesmus; a representative of the xystodesmid tribe pachydesmini, either a species of Dicellarius (D. atlanta perhaps) or Thrinaxoria. Rowland Shelley

thanks, but
I'd like to return it to ID Request because I want to know what KIND of millipede it is. How will anybody know I still would like that information if it's not in the ID Request section? What do you suggest, please?

our expert looks for pics to ID here rather than in ID Request.
please refer to this forum thread for more recommendations – these are by no means official but are loosely followed by most editors and many contributors, which helps a lot to expedite identification process.
