Euphoberia is an extinct genus of millipede from the Pennsylvanian period measuring up to 30 centimetres (12 in) in length.[1] Fossils have been found in Europe[2] and North America.[3]
There has been uncertainty about the appropriate classification of Euphoberia since its description in 1868: it has been referred to as a centipede,[4] millipede, or a separate, independent group within the myriapods.[5][6] It is currently placed in the Archipolypoda, an extinct group of millipedes.[3]
