Diversity
16 living orders, c. 12,000 species

Millipedes, myriapods of the class Diplopoda, contain approximately 12,000 described species organized into 16 extant orders and approximately 140 families. This list is based on Shear, 2011,[1] sorted alphabetically by order and taxonomically within order.

Key:

10 or fewer species
11-50 species
51-100 species
over 100 species

Many millipede taxa are monotypic (e.g. a family containing a single genus, and/or a genus with a single species). Families with a single genus are indicated with . Families with a single genus and single species are notated with .

Notes: The names of millipede orders end in "-ida"; suborders end in "-idea". Superfamilies end in "-oidea", while families end in "-idae".
