Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Automatic Taxobox

Euphoberiidae is an extinct family of archipolypodan millipedes known from the Upper Pennsylvanian of Europe and North America. The family includes relatively large millipedes measuring up to Шаблон:Convert[1] long bearing distinctive spines and were the dominant millipedes of the Pennsylvanian.[2]

Description

Euphoberiids are characterized by sets of outward-pointing spines on each diplosegment, one pair extending laterally, the other pair higher on the body. At the base of each lateral spine is an ozopore, or defensive gland opening.[3] Species of Acantherpestes and Euphoberia have cylindrical bodies, while those of Myriacantherpestes are more flattened in appearance.[1]
