Oriulus venustus is a species of millipede in the family Parajulidae.[2][3][4][5] It is found in North America.[2][6]

Description

[edit | edit source]

Adults are around 19 to 26 millimeters in length and 1.5 to 2.5 millimeters wide. Males of this species can be identified by their enlarged sternum 8 that extends dorsally into the body cavity and their sigmoid, crossing gonopodal telopodites.[1]

Distribution and habitat

[edit | edit source]

Oriulus venustus covers most of North America north of Mexico and east of the Rocky Mountains, though its distribution becomes sporadic in the south-eastern United States.[1]
