In addition, the researchers noted the presence of millipedes of the order of 200 stings and four penises.
American speleologists discovered in one of the marble caves National Park “Sequoia” a new species of millipedes. This is stated in an article published in the scientific journal ZooKeys.
A new species of the class Diplopoda dubbed Illacme tobini. The researchers counted the insect 414 feet, which is 336 less than the world record belonging to the species Illacme plenipes. In addition, the researchers noted the presence of millipedes of the order of 200 stings and four penises, which appeared as a result of evolution of the legs.
Scientists can not yet explain the mechanism of the venom glands. In addition, they are stumped by the strange growths in the mouth of a centipede.
The researchers intend to continue the study of Illacme tobini. According to them, in the caves of the National Park “Sequoia” can hide the representatives of many unknown species.
