Abstract
Millipedes illustrate reversed sexual size dimorphism (SSD) as females are larger than males. SSD was calculated in 18 species of the genus Centrobolus and illustrated as a regression. The approximate relative position of C. inscriptus is shown. The size of C. inscriptus was 2245mm3: 1841 mm3: (females: males; n=88) and logged (x = 3.351216; y = 3.265054) and plotted. The mean volume ratio for C. inscriptus was 1.219446. Sexual size dimorphism was visible with the naked eye.
