Entomobielziidae is a family of millipedes belonging to the order Chordeumatida.[1] This family includes the genus Tianella, notable for featuring adult millipedes with 29 segments, a number not found in the adults of any other chordeumatidan genus.[2] Adults in most Tianella species have 29 segments.[3] In the Tianella species with 29 segments, adult females have 48 pairs of legs,[3] as one would expect in adult female chordeumatidans with one segment fewer than the 30 usually found in this order.[2]
