Family placement

The genus Illacme is placed in the family Siphonorhinidae based on the following characters: Head pear-shaped (♂) or triangular (♀), not elongate or beak-shaped, as in the Siphonophoridae (Fig. 2A–F). Antennae elbowed between antennomeres 3, 4 (Figs 2B; 3A, B). Antennomeres 5, 6 with apical dorsal cluster of 7 or 8 basiconic sensilla (Bs2) in slight depression, not in defined circular pits, as in the Siphonophoridae (Figs 2B, D; 3A, B). Antennomere 1 set deep in cranium, not entirely visible dorsally as in Siphonophoridae (Figs 2A, B; 2E; 3C, D). Antennomere 2 longer than wide, conical, not doughnut-shaped and wider than long as typical in Siphonophoridae. Anterior margin of collum straight, not emarginate medially as in Siphonophoridae. Sterna with prominent midline triangular projections, oriented ventrally (Figs 3E, F; 4A, B). Posterior gonopods with distal podomere divided into 2–4 branches with one branch spike-like (Figs 4C, D, E, F; 5A–D). See also diagnoses of Illacme in Shelley (1996b[1], pg. 23), Marek et al. (2012[2], pg. 85), and Enghoff et al. (2015[3], pg. 386), and of Siphonorhinidae in Shelley and Hoffman (2004[4], pg. 218), Wesener (2014[5], pg. 417), and Enghoff et al. (2015[3], pg. 386).
Diagnosis. Adults of Illacme are distinct from other siphonorhinid genera (and commonly encountered millipedes co-occurring with Illacme tobini sp. n. and Illacme plenipes) based on the combination of the following characters: Body light cream-colored, thread-like, extremely narrow and long (max. width: ♂ 0.55, ♀ 0.64; max. length: ♂ 28.16, ♀ 40.40). Adult individuals with 84–192 segments, and with 318–750 legs. Body covered with many long delicate setae, imparting a velvety appearance (Figs 5E, F; 6A, B). Antennae elbowed between antennomeres 3, 4 (Figs 2B; 3A, B). Antennomeres 5, 6 enlarged, appearing much larger relative to other articles (Figs 2B, D, 3A, B). Head pear-shaped in males or triangular or chevron-shaped in females, eyeless (Fig. 2C–F). Genae slightly convex (♂) or straight (♀), not concave (imparting a teardrop-shaped head) as in Nematozonium filum, Siphonorhinus sp. (Wesener 2014[5]), and the family Siphonophoridae (Shelley 1996, Shelley and Hoffman 2004[4]). Mouthparts (gnathochilarium, mandibles) and labrum tightly appressed, tapered anteriorly to rounded apex—not beak-shaped, as in the Siphonophoridae (Figs 2A–F; 3C, D). Labrum with a deep medial slit, margins lined with teeth (Figs 6C–F; 7A–F). Denticulate shelf-like carina, projecting dorsally from labrum-epistome margin (Figs 6E, F; 7D; 8A, B). 9th and 10th leg pairs modified into gonopods, each comprising 7 podomeres (Figs 4C, D; 8C–F; 9A–F). Anterior gonopod thick, bulkier than posterior gonopod (Figs 4C, D; 8C–F). Anterior gonopodal apex (podomere 7, A7—Fig. 4C, D) spade-shaped; at rest, cupped sheath-like around posterior gonopodal stylets (podomere 7, P7—Figs 4E, F; 9A–F). Posterior gonopodal podomere 7 deeply divided, comprising a bundle of 3 (Illacme plenipes) or 4 (Illacme tobini sp. n.) stylus-shaped articles; one article spike-shaped (Fig. 4E, F); other siphonorhinid taxa with 2 stylus-shaped articles and a small spine (Nematozonium filum) or 2 articles without spine (Siphonorhinus species and Kleruchus olivaceus Attems, 1938). 2, 3 dorsal-most, longest articles laminate distally and recurved laterally, with denticulate posterior margins appearing saw-like (Fig. 5A–D). Ventral-most, shortest article acuminate distally, spike-like.
