Based on some rare traits (erect metatergal spines; swollen distal parts of most tibiae plus the basal parts of the tarsi; apical part of most tarsi with numer-ous long but stiff setae instead of a claw) and unique (extruding tubiform spiracles; extremely long legs, with the posterior pair per segment being considerably longer than the anterior one; legs and sternites beset with ramose, tree-like setae) as well as some circumstantial evidence derived from fossils and a few Recent taxa, the mode of life and the environment in this species are presumed as climbing on humid vegetation and/or swimming/gliding on the water surface in floodplains or savannahs,by all means in very close if not direct contact with water.}, title={Notes on the unique structure of the spiracles and legs in Pandirodesmus disparipes Silvestri, 1932 (Diplopoda, Polydesmida, Chelodesmidae), with some possible implications concerning its mode of life}, type={Text}, URL={http://rcin.org.pl./Content/54281/PDF/WA058_60978_P256-T43_Fragm-Faun-Nr-9.pdf}, keywords={Pandirodesmus disparipes, Guyana, Polydesmida, myriapods, Nearctic (region), species biology, morphology, British Guiana, Myriapoda, Diplopoda, plastron, millipedes, structure, Neotropics, ecology}, }
