The body is frequently yellowish or even pink, sometimes featuring characteristic black bands. Legs have six segments. In males, leg pairs 9 and 10 become leglike

in adults. The posterior gonopods typically have from five to seven segments, but the number of segments in the anterior gonopods is more variable. Juveniles hatch with four leg pairs. Females in this order protect their eggs.

Millipedes in this order range from 4 mm to 50 mm in length but are usually 10 mm to 15 mm long. Polyzoniidans have a somewhat domed dorsal surface with a flat ventral side. Their heads are small and cone-like, with few

secretions in this order frequently have a strong camphor-like smell. Poison frogs in South
America and Madagascar evidently obtain some of their poison from these millipedes.
