Polydesmus coriaceus (Porat, 1881)
A common and widespread Millipede nationally, but P. coriaceus is presently known from just a handful of sites of the county. Examination of any Polydesmus sp, may prove that this species is more common, but there are several visually identical species, so identification can only be certain via dissection. This one was found in flood refuse alongside the River Trent at Stoke Bardolph in February 2017.
