Hiltonius australis (Grinnell)
Spirobolus australis Grinnell, 1908, Univ. Calif. Publ. Paleont., 5: 210, pl. 15, figs. 13, 14. ST (Univ. Calif. Berkeley) from asphalt beds at Rosemary [Rancho La Brea tar pits] (Pleistocene-Recent), Los Angeles Co., California. Hiltonius? australis: Hoffman, 1969, in: Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology, Part R, p. R587.
This name is almost certainly a senior synonym of either H. pulchrus or of Tylobolus claremontus, the only large spiroboloids currently known to occur in Los Angeles Co., placement in Hiltonius is therefore somewhat arbitrary pending comparison of material.

Leggiest Animal: Champ millipede located after 79-year gap
Susan Milius
Quote:
A millipede species with up to 750 legs, the most recorded on any animal, has turned up in its tiny native range in California after decades with no sightings, biologists say.

Luminous Millipedes
Quote:
This is a genus of small millipedes found in California. While a few species of centipedes are known to have luminous secretions, these are the only millipedes known to be bioluminescent. What is especially interesting is that these millipedes are blind. Why the luminescence?

i don't know how to insert posts into the middle of a thread so i make a big block of posts for me to play with

there was nine aa's in a row at first, right? well eventually most or all will have info there

i think it makes it easier for ppl to use these threads if all the information posts are blocked together

Thqanks Mike.  Good to know that the Xystocheir was fluorescing under UV light.  Yes, the bioluminescence in all 7 species of Motyxia involves the entire body, legs, antennae, the works.  It is quite spectacular. I've collected them near Sequoia NP and played with them at night in my motel room; as soon as you turn out the lights, the animal is right there, all lit up in a neon white glow; it doesn't have to be handled or manipulated, just douse the lights and it's all lit up immediately.  Causey & Tiemann characterized the substantial number of Motyxias out wandering around at night in one location as "resembling stars in the sky."  The bioluminescence also seems to demonstrate a periodicity.  I've also had colleagues collect some in the Sierras and send them to me in NC, which is 3 hours earlier than CA.  When I tried to show my coworkers, I had to handle them substantially before they would begin to emit a faint glow, but when the time here was such that it was nighttime in Calif., all one had to do was turn out the light and the animals glowed without handling.  You're not that far from Tulare Co., you should drive down there and see this yourself; they are pretty common at the right time of year near places like Hammond, outside the Ash Mtn. entrance to Sequoia NP.  Rowland Shelley
