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:
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".
