Trends in the ecological strategies and evolution of millipedes (Diplopoda).
http://dx.doi.org/10.1006/bijl.1999.0401
In this article, five main morphotypes (polyxenoid, glomeroid, juloid, polydesmoid, and platydesmoid) are denoted and five ecomorphotypes, i.e. life-forms (stratobionts, troglobionts, geobionts, subcorticolous xylobionts, and epiphytobionts) are outlined.

Flat-backed millipede (Polydesmida) showing the 2 pairs of legs per body segment as opposed to the 1 pair found in centipedes.
Category:
Millipedes are terrestrial uniramian antennate and mandibulate arthropods whose bodies are made up of a chain of numerous segments. The appendages of the first body segment just behing the head (collum) are absent.
