Polydesmida
This website (www.polydesmida.info) is under construction. By early 2011 it will have general information about the millipede order Polydesmida, sometimes called 'flatback millipedes'. It will also be host to a number of related websites. Three of these are now online:
- Millipedes of Australia is a resource for taxonomists. It does not (yet) contain identification keys or images. It lists all the scientifically named millipedes in Australia with their taxonomic details, and has a distribution mapper for the native species.
- Tasmanian Multipedes is a naturalist's guide to the centipedes, millipedes, Symphyla, Pauropoda and velvet worms of Tasmania. This version was first built in 2003 and its content is up to date, but a new version with a different format will be online here in 2011.
- Mapping two millipedes is a progress report about... mapping two millipedes!
