Millipedes are one of the largest arthropod groups present on earth. They are highly diverse, having 12000 described species. Millipedes are one of the most important leaf litter fauna and play the role of decomposers, maintaining soil structure and nutrient cycling. Despite their impactful ecological role and high species diversity, taxonomic documentation of this group is very fragmentary in India. This work is an attempt to record millipede species from the lateritic soil belt of West Midnapore district, West Bengal, India. The study reports the presence of six millipede species belonging to six different genus, four families and three taxonomic orders.
