These millipedes can have from 20 to 88 segments, with huge variation in segment number within the same species. 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 277:
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.
