Got some new, unkown species from the philippines.
Maybe someone can ID these.
They have a greyish-blue tone and look a little bit like smaller AGBs, lenght bout 22cm.

Great pictures, and very nice species, this species has started to become much more common in Europe at the moment, I think from a single supplier in the Philippines, I should have them soon hopefully, does anyone know what species they are?

We are workin on an identification here on our german board, there are only two species which were mentioned in Mr. Wangs work(1951), Variulus mindanaonus and Banosolus philippinus.

The groups clear, they belong to spirobolidae, but nuthin more so far, sry.

While trekking in Mt. Apo, Philippines' tallest mountain, my girlfriend and I stumbled upon a huge millipede that can rival African Giant Black Millipedes in terms of size. We didn't catch it since it might be a protected species.
