Q: Millipedes, the little blunt-headed invertebrates with a habit of coiling up like baby ferns, rarely live up their name. In Latin, millipede means “thousand feet,” though the majority of the arthropods do not surpass the hundred-leg mark. 
  
 That is not to say these critters want for feet. They have plenty. And a newly described species, which was found living alone in a small California cave, almost does the millipede name justice. Sporting 414 tiny walking appendages, the creature — a single male specimen — boasted the second-highest number of legs of any animal species on the planet.

 At a glance, the millipede in question might not look like much: a bit like a plastic-coated shoelace tip gone to fuzz. But appearances, even those of tiny pale worms, can be deceptive. Its 0.8-inch-long body, as millipede experts recently reported in the journal Zookeys, was packed with quite an array of strange anatomy. 
  
 When they counted its segments under a microscope, the scientists discovered it had a whopping 207 pairs of legs. Where the ninth and tenth pair would sit, the creature had four gonopods — feet adapted for transferring sperm. (The millipede had, roughly speaking, four penises. How that might have played out with a female of this species was unclear, because the biologists did not find one.) 
  
 After the scientists sliced the bachelor male open, as they reported in the study, they found 200 pores dotting the length of his body. Some of those nozzles had an “unidentified secretion extruded from the opening,” which the scientists speculated could be a defensive poison. The arthropod, which they named Illacme tobini, also lacked eyes. Its bristly mouth parts were “peculiar,” and their shape suggested the animal may have lived on a diet of only fungus.

 Discovering the single I. tobini was no easy feat. During a series of expeditions to caverns within California’s Sequoia National Park, biologists surveyed the area for rare invertebrates from 2002 to 2004, and again from 2006 to 2009. 
  
 (To millipede experts, collecting extremely rare arthropods is serious business. The scientists would not disclose exactly where within the cavern system they found the animal. “Due to the sensitivity of its cave habitat,” they wrote in the Zookeys paper, “locality details are withheld publicly.”) 
  
 On only one occasion, on Oct. 9, 2006, did a biologist find the completely new species. Cave biologist Jean K. Krejca was exploring a marble cavern when she snagged the animal and preserved it in alcohol. 
  
 Krejca sent the specimen to a scientist named Paul Marek. Marek, an entomologist at Virginia Tech, had found a close relative of I. tobini in a valley in San Benito County, Calif., also in 2006. Government scientists first reported that animal, I. plenipes, in 1926. A female millipede of its kind had 750 legs, a record that stands to this day. But until Marek found it again, the most-leggy creature had not been seen for 90 years. 
  
 Marek and his colleagues confirmed that both of the leggy wundercritters were related. “I never would have expected that a second species of the leggiest animal on the planet would be discovered in a cave 150 miles away,” Marek said in a news release. 
  
 There was no sign of another Illacme tobini between 2010 and 2012. Embarking on additional surveys, the biologists combed 63 other locations in the Sierra Nevada foothills and El Dorado National Forest. They flipped over decaying logs, ruffled through leaf litter and overturned large stones. They found plenty of other arthropods, like pseudoscorpions, flies and spiders. But, at least for the time being, it appears as though the many-legged millipedes have repeated their disappearing act.

 A pale, thread-like creature found lurking in a California cave is a brand-new species of millipede. 
  
 The stringy arthropod has 414 legs and four "penises," limbs that were converted over evolutionary time into structures that transfer sperm. Only a single specimen of the new species has been found, a male, so researchers don't know what the females look like. 
  
 The millipede hails from a marble cavern called Lange Cave in Sequoia National Park. Researchers launched a major survey of caves in Sequoia and nearby Kings Canyon National Park that lasted from 2002 to 2004, with smaller follow-up excursions running from 2006 to 2009. During one of those excursions in October 2006, cave biologist Jean Krejca, now of Zara Environmental in Texas, discovered a skinny little millipede about 0.8 inches (20 millimeters) long. Krejca sent the specimen for analysis to millipede specialists Paul Marek of Virginia Tech and William Shear of Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia.

 The researchers soon realized that they had something new on their hands: a species in the genus Illacme. Only one other species of Illacme has ever been discovered, Illacme plenipes. That species came from San Benito County, California, 150 miles (240 kilometers) away from Lange Cave. With up to 750 legs apiece, I. plenipes is the leggiest millipede on the planet. 
  
 "I never would have expected that a second species of the leggiest animal on the planet would be discovered in a cave 150 miles away," Marek said in a statement. 
  
 The researchers dubbed the new species Illacme tobini, after Ben Tobin, a cave specialist at Grand Canyon National Park who organized the survey that uncovered the new millipede. 
  
 After the discovery, researchers spent several years looking for more specimens of the new species, checking around Lange Cave and at 63 other locations in the Sierra Nevada foothills. They turned over leaf, log and rock, but found nothing. 
  
 As a result, the new species is known only from the single male found in Lange Cave, a marble cavern situated in woodland habitat at the base of Yucca Mountain. The eyeless millipede may feed on fungus, the researchers wrote online Oct. 20 in the journal ZooKeys. Its ninth and 10th leg pairs have been converted into the millipede version of penises, known as gonopods. These specialty limbs are covered in spikes and shovel-like projections that shuttle sperm from male to female. 
  
 The millipede also sports 200 pores that secrete some sort of unidentified substance — perhaps a chemical defense against predators. It's unclear whether I. tobini lives solely in caves, the researchers wrote, or whether it might also be found in standard millipede hideouts like the undersides of rocks. 
  
 I. plenipes was discovered in 1928, making I. tobini only the second Illacme species ever discovered, 90 years later. Both species are members of the larger family Siphonorhinidae, a secretive group consisting of only 12 known species. Illacme are the only North American representatives, but others in the family come from Vietnam, South Africa, India, Indonesia and Madagascar. The family probably arrived at these disparate locations by spreading across the ancient supercontinent Pangea, the researchers wrote, becoming forever divided when that giant landmass broke up 200 million years ago. 
  
 Original article on Live Science. ||||| Along with many spiders, pseudoscorpions, and flies discovered and catalogued by the cave explorers, a tiny threadlike millipede was found in the unexplored dark marble caves in Sequoia National Park. 
  
 The enigmatic millipede was sent to diplopodologists (scientists who specialize in the study of millipedes) Bill Shear and Paul Marek, who immediately recognized its significance as evolutionary cousin of the leggiest animal on the planet, Illacme plenipes. The new species may possess "only" 414 legs, compared to its relative's 750, yet, it has a similar complement of bizarre anatomical features, including a body armed with 200 poison glands, silk-secreting hairs, and 4 penises. The study was published in the open access journal ZooKeys. 
  
 This new millipede, named Illacme tobini after cave biologist Ben Tobin of the National Park Service, is described by its discoverer Jean Krejca, at Zara Environmental LLC, and millipede taxonomists Paul Marek at Virginia Tech and Bill Shear, Hampden-Sydney College. 
  
 "I never would have expected that a second species of the leggiest animal on the planet would be discovered in a cave 150 miles away," says Paul Marek, Assistant Professor in the Entomology Department at Virginia Tech. It's closest relative lives under giant sandstone boulders outside of San Juan Bautista, California. 
  
 In addition to the new millipede's legginess, it also has bizarre-looking mouthparts of a mysterious function, four legs that are modified into penises, a body covered in long silk-secreting hairs, and paired nozzles on each of its over 100 segments that squirt a defense chemical of an unknown nature. 
  
 In conclusion, the authors note that by exploring our world and documenting the biodiversity of this planet we can prevent anonymous extinction, a process in which a species goes extinct before we know of its role in the ecosystem, potential benefit to humanity, or its beauty.

A:
Scientists recently revealed a highly improbable discovery: a creature with 414 legs, four penises, and no eyes. Cave biologist Jean Krejca stumbled across the creature, a millipede now known as Illacme tobini, a decade ago inside Lange Cave in California's Sequoia National Park, the Washington Post reports. A study on the new millipede species was finally published last week in ZooKeys. According to Live Science, Illacme tobini is only the second species in the genus Illacme. Illacme plenipes, whose 750 legs are the most in the world, was discovered in California in 1928. Illacme tobini now has the second most legs. "I never would have expected that a second species of the leggiest animal on the planet would be discovered in a cave 150 miles away," a millipede expert who examined the creature says in a press release. In addition to its 414 legs and four penises (called gonopods), Illacme tobini features 200 glands that secrete what is likely a defensive poison, hairs that produce silk, and "peculiar" mouth parts of undetermined purpose. Despite searching for another Illacme tobini for years, researchers have come up empty handed. That means that, without a female to study, researchers are unfortunately left to guess about exactly why the millipede has four penises. (New dolphin species hid in museum for 55 years.)
