Etymology This genus is named after the yellow stripe on the collum that appears as if the millipede is wearing a gold crown, and that mountain laurels (Kalmia latifolia L.) are commonly encountered with members of the genus. The name is a combination of the Greek, daphne, ‘laurel’ (bay laurel, Laurus nobilis L.) and desma ‘band’. The ending ‘-desmus’ is commonly used for genus names in the order. [details]
