Summary

Description
English: In the juliform millipede Nopoiulus kochii (Gervais, 1847) (Blaniulidae), the eighth and the ninth pair of trunk appendages are typical legs since their first appearance in the III post-embryonic instar and so remain in the IV instar (A), and only turn into short, scale-like appendages with the moult to the V instar (B). With a further moult, the millipede, now in its VI post-embryonic instar, becomes an adult with two pairs of bulky, complex gonopods (C). (A-C) External morphology. SEM, scale bar 300 μm. Arrow pairs point to the eighth and ninth pair of trunk appendages, as walking legs (A) or scale-like appendages (B).
