[3] Glomeris aurita also possesses a prominent stria on its main thoracic shield, which is a feature not shared by other pill millipedes within its natural range.

G. aurita is a high-altitude species, found inhabiting alpine meadows at altitudes ranging from 1400 to 2400 meters above sea level.

[1] It is believed that the active period of Glomeris aurita on the surface, extends from June to the middle of September, encompassing only 3.5 out of 12 months of the year.

[3] G. aurita had previously been listed as a species encountered within caves east of Lago di Como by Manfredi (1932).

[3] Nevertheless, specimens of G. aurita from alpine meadow habitat in the Bergamasque Alps do not exhibit any indications of adaptations associated with cave environments.
