尽管没有已知的马陆真的有千条腿的，但因Illacme plenipes这种马陆曾有个体被纪录有750条腿之故，Illacme plenipes这种马陆在这方面已很接近了。平均而言，这种马陆的个体平均有超过600条腿，此为马陆各物种平均的两倍。尽管这种马陆的腿比地球上其他的动物都还多，它们事实上是相当小型的动物，相对其他种的马陆，其体型也是较小的。这种马陆的雌性个体体长仅梢微超过一英寸；其雄性个体体型较小一些，且有着较少的腿。_NEWLINE__NEWLINE_已隐藏部分未翻译部分，欢迎参与翻译。

The species was first discovered in San Benito County, part of the California Floristic Province, in 1926 by a government scientist. However, the species was not seen again until it was rediscovered almost eighty years later, in November 2005, by Paul Marek, a Ph.D. student at East Carolina University, as he was conducting research on millipede systematics and evolution in San Benito County. Marek published his discovery in the journal Nature.
