Trachysphaera
Trachysphaera is a genus of dwarf pill millipedes in the order Glomerida. Just over 30 species are known, making it the third most species-rich genus of Glomerida. Trachysphaera species are patchily distributed throughout Europe and western Asia, extending from Spain to Caucasia.[1][2] Members of this genus are tiny, with modified appearances resembling that of calcareous stones.[3]
