Sigmoria nantahalae
Found on the forest floor, heading up the Wesser Creek mountain trail in Swain County, North Carolina.
Absolutely fantastic millipede! According to Rowland Shelley: "The color pattern of this milliped, red paranota (lateral segmental expansions on the dorsa) with white transverse connecting bands, readily identifies it as Sigmoria (Falloria) nantahalae [discovered by] Hoffman, 1958. It occurs in the northernmost cos. of Georgia northward to The Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Swain Co., NC."
