Trigoniulus corallinus, sometimes called the rusty millipede or common Asian millipede, is a species of millipede widely distributed in the Indo-Malayan region including India, Sri Lanka, China, Taiwan, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, and much of Indonesia. It is also reported from Fiji and Tanzania and found in South Asia and the Caribbean as an introduced species.[1][2]
These millipedes inhabit moist areas, rotten wood and compost.[1] The genome of T. corallinus was sequenced in 2015, the first time this has been done for a millipede.[3]
