Dasystigma margaretae is a species in the Dalodesmidae family of millipedes.[1] It was first described in 1984 by C. A. W. Jeekel as Lissodesmus margaretae[1][2] and was transferred to the genus Dasystigma in 2003 by Robert Mesibov,[1][3] in a paper where the species was given a further description.[3]
The species epithet honours Margaret A. Williams, an Australian entomologist,[2] who collected the type specimen from Lake Augusta, Tasmania.[1]
