 The Appalachian millipede genus "Choctella" shows a similar distribution, suggesting they both stem from the same Gondwanan fauna.Certain aspects of its anatomy (such as position and form of the eye tubercle, and the male genitalia) make it likely that it is most closely related to genera in other parts of the world, such as "Monomontia" in South Africa or "Hendea" in New Zealand."F.
