Anthroleucosomatidae is a family of millipedes in the order Chordeumatida. This family includes more than 100 species distributed among 40 genera. This family has a mostly Holarctic distribution, with the greatest diversity in the area around the Mediterranean sea.
Description These millipedes range from 3.5 mm to 28 mm in length. Both the anterior and posterior gonopods lack flagella. The posterior gonopods are much simpler, with a strong plate-like sternum and normally one to three segments. Adult millipedes in this family have 26, 28, 30, or 31 segments (counting the collum as the first segment and the telson as the last). This family includes Metamastigophorophyllon, notable as the only chordeumatidan genus with 31 segments.
