Phryssonotus

Phryssonotus is a genus of bristle millipedes containing around nine extant species.

Species are characterized by the possession of dark, rear-projecting scale-shaped bristles (trichomes) on the tergites; all other bristles are long and hairlike.

[1] Adults in this genus have 17 pairs of legs, except for the species Phryssonotus brevicapensis, in which they have only 15 pairs of legs.
