Diagnosis
A species of the
opinatus
subgroup. Lateral process of anterior coxal fold (
alp
) regularly curved, basally broad, gradually tapering towards end and ending in sharp point, with a lateral crest near tip. Similar in this respect to
T. bifurcus
. Differs from this species by having the mesal process of anterior coxal fold (
amp
) straight, directed distad, by having the mesal process of posterior coxal fold (
pmp
) slender, directed anteriad, and by having only one femoral spine (
fe
).
Etymology
This species is named after the organization “
Centre
International de Myriapodologie – CIM” (www. myriapodology.org) in recognition of its immense importance for inspiring and supporting research on myriapods.

ac
;
Fig. 2A
): lateral process (
alp
) regularly curved, basally broad, gradually tapering towards end and ending in sharp point, with lateral crest near tip (

alp
, straight, directed distad. Posterior coxal fold (

), distally truncate, forming shelf for accommodation of telopodite, mesal process (
pmp
) slender, directed anteriad. Telopodite (

fe
) very long, slender, curving downward,
in situ
resting between
alp

resting close to base of
