Polydesmus inconstans (Latzel, 1884)
A common and widespread Flat-backed Millipede. P. inconstans is largely confined to a series of scattered records from south and east Nottinghamshire, but examination of any Polydesmus sp, may prove that this species is more common. There are several visually identical species, so identification can only be certain via dissection. This one was found along a former disused railway line at King's Clipstone in January 2015.
