were quite rare in any weather conditions. The millipedes were found in forests ranging from 150 m to 400 m a.s.l., the forest canopy appeared to have been free of this species. Females were mostly hidden in leaf litter in small patches of litter on very steep slopes (60-70°), forming &quot;living rooms&quot;, choosing places with water oozing from beneath shale so that the leaf litter was constantly wet. Males were found mainly on the forest floor at night. No juveniles were seen.
