Head, prozonae, anterior part of collum, and metazonae black; posterior part of collum and each metazonite with transverse band or oval spot, pale yellow to orange-red. If the patches not covering ozopores, then the ozopores exhibit the same color of the patches. Telson black with color of tip identical to the patches. Antennae black; legs black to reddish brown (Fig. 5 A – H). Head densely setose. Antennae moderately long (Fig. 5 A), extending behind body segment 3 when stretched dorsally. Width gradually widened from collum to 5 th segment, roughly equal in 5 th – 16 th segments, and tapering from 16 th to telson. Collum of different specimens with one or two transverse rows of setae, one row with 1 + 1 anterior, two rows with 1 + 1 at both anterior and intermediate. Caudal corner of collum very broadly rounded, declined ventrad, produced behind rear tergal margin (Fig. 5 A, B). Cuticle shining, prozonae finely shagreened, metaterga finely rugulose (Fig. 5 A, C, F), surface below paranota finely microgranulate (Fig. 5 B, D). Postcollum metaterga with one transverse row of setae: 4 + 4 or 3 + 3 in anterior (pre-sulcus). Tergal setae long and slender, mostly abraded. Paranota well developed (Fig. 5 A – F), lying rather high (at upper 1 / 2 of body), arched.

Transverse sulcus usually distinct (Fig. 5 A, C, F), slightly incomplete on segment 18, complete on metaterga 3 – 18 (♂), narrow, linear, shallow, reaching bases of paranota, faintly ribbed at bottom. Stricture between pro- and metazonae evident, broad and deep, ribbed at bottom down to base of paranota (Fig. 5 A, B, D, G). Pleurosternal carinae with a sharp caudal tooth on segments 2 – 7, thereafter increasingly strongly reduced until 18 th segment (♂). Epiproct (Fig. 5 G, H) conical, flattened dorsoventrally, with two small apical papillae; tip subtruncate; pre-apical papillae small, lying close to tip. Hypoproct roundly subtriangular, spinnerets at caudal edge small and well separated (Fig. 5 H). Sterna densely setose with a long tongue-shaped process on ♂ coxae 4 (Fig. 5 E). Legs rather long and slender (Fig. 5 A, B, D, G). Coxite of gonopods (Fig. 6) thick, pressing inwards on the spermathecal fossa in the prefemur. Prefemur short, with numerous slender setae. Femorite rather stout, with an evident mesal groove and a strong distolateral sulcus demarcating a postfemoral part; the latter well developed, with very prominent bipartite, crescent-shaped, lateral processes: process a rather long and broad; process b short, broad and pointed. Solenophore in the form of a long, tubular branch. Solenomere flagelliform.	en	Xiong, Yuan, Chen, Huiming, Jiang, Xuankong, Jiang, Chao (2025): Topotypes of the millipede species Kronopolites swinhoei (Pocock, 1895) reveal a new synonym with revalidation of Kronopolites svenhedini (Verhoeff, 1934) (Diplopoda, Polydesmida, Paradoxosomatidae).
