The above list represents the current state of knowledge on millipede biodiversity and distribution within GSMNP. To provide a more complete picture of the fauna, taxa deemed likely to inhabit GSMNP are presented in Table 1. These taxa have not been recorded from the Park, but have been either recorded near the Park or in similar habitats to those found within the Park. Additional sampling may reveal their presence.

Taxon Known Range

Polyzoniida : Polyzoniidae

Petaserpes lateralis (Shelley 1976) Known from similar montane habitats ~ 150 km to the northeast. Chordeumatida : Cleidogonida
