Millipede from South Australia rediscovered and described 90 years after it was first collected
The new species Colobothrix deckeri is in the millipede family Dalodesmidae. It is remarkable because it is the first in its moisture-loving family to be found in a part of Australia with a low annual rainfall, between 400 and 500 mm (16 and 20 inches).
