Description
Platyrhacids are often large and colorful. They can be distinguished from most other polydesmidans by having ozopores situated further inward from the paranota margins, ozopores surrounded by a broad, flat ring, and presence of compound setae on the labrum and often on the epiproct (a posterior extension of the telson). Large platyrhacids in Borneo may grow up to 13 cm long and exhibit colors of blue, green, and yellow with black spots or stripes.
