Pseudopolydesmus

Pseudopolydesmus is a genus of flat-backed millipedes in the family Polydesmidae.

Species

Formerly, there were at least 12 described species in the genus Pseudopolydesmus. Presently however, following a review published in 2019 which used scanning electron microscopy and ultraviolet fluorescence to produce detailed images of specimens, only the following eight species are recognised:

• Pseudopolydesmus caddo <small>Chamberlin, 1949</small>
• Pseudopolydesmus canadensis <small>(Newport, 1844)</small>
• Pseudopolydesmus collinus <small>Hoffman, 1974</small>
• Pseudopolydesmus erasus <small>(Loomis, 1943)</small>
• Pseudopolydesmus minor <small>(Bollman, 1888)</small>
• Pseudopolydesmus paludicolus <small>Hoffman, 1950</small>
• Pseudopolydesmus pinetorum <small>(Bollman, 1888)</small>
• Pseudopolydesmus serratus <small>(Say, 1821)</small>
