Furcillaria
Genus of millipedes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Furcillaria is listed a genus of flat-backed millipedes in the family Xystodesmidae by several references.[1][2][3][4] In 2021, however, authorities deemed Furcillaria to be a junior synonym of Sigmoria.[5] Accordingly, other references reject Furcillaria as a valid genus.[6]
