Pauropodidae

Pauropodidae is the most diverse family of pauropods, containing 27 genera and more than 800 species, as well as the only known fossil pauropod, Eopauropus.[1][2][3] This family has a subcosmopolitan distribution.[1] Pauropods in this family are generally whitish and feature a sternal antennal branch with one seta and one globulus (i.e., spheroid sense organ), setae on the head and tergites that are usually tapering or cylindrical, and a single anal plate.[4][1] Like most adult pauropods in the order Tetramerocerata,[5] most adults in this family have 9 pairs of legs, but adults in one genus, Cauvetauropus, have only 8 pairs of legs, and female adults in another genus, Decapauropus, have either 9 or 10 pairs of legs.[1] The first species found to include pauropods with more than 9 pairs of legs was D. cuenoti, first described with 10 pairs in 1931.[6]
