An extremely difficult Millipede to identify
to species level, Choneiulus palmatus is
impossible to separate from Proteroiulus fuscus and Nopoiulus
kochii, without the aid of a microscope. It seems
very much a Millipede of buildings and urban sites, but
this was still a surprise find, underneath the loose
mortar of an old stone wall at Church Warsop in late
March 2015. There have been recent records from Nottingham City Hospital
and from underneath loose mortar on a stone wall along Perry Road, New
Basford. |
