New species of extremely leggy millipede discovered in a cave in California

(Pensoft Publishers) Ninety years ago, a world record-breaking 750-legged millipede was discovered in California. Now, scientists have found a closely related species in Sequoia National Park to partner the former one in its genus. The new species may possess 'only' 414 legs, yet, it has a similar complement of bizarre anatomical features, including a body armed with 200 poison glands, silk-secreting hairs, and 4 penises. The study is published in the open-access journal ZooKeys.
