Description: Asiomorpha coarctata, an Asian millipede commonly mistaken for the N. American Harpaphe haydeniana because of the similarity in coloration. A good way to tell them apart is to look at the paranota - the lateral edges of each segment. In Asiomorpha, the paranota are sharp edged and acute, pointing backward. This specimen is from the Philippines.
