Abstract: The external and internal anatomy of millipedes (Diplopoda) is poorly known compared to some of theother myriapod and arthropod groups. Due to both language barriers which hindered the assessment ofthe character-rich older literature and non-phylogenetic thinking, our knowledge of morphologicalcharacters useful for phylogenetic work diminished over the last decades. Here, a new character matrixwith 64 characters, mainly derived from old literature data, is used to reconstruct a phylogeny of Diplopoda.As a tool to further our knowledge about the morphology of the different millipede orders, weshow how micro-computer tomography (mCT) can be used to assess and illustrate specific parts of thePlatydesmida. With the advent of mCT it is now possible to analyse many taxa and characters in acomparatively short time. A focus is put on potential phylogenetically useful characters. Our resultssupport a Verhoeffian classification of the Diplopoda: Polyxenida þ Chilognatha. Pentazonia are thesistergroup to the Helminthomorpha. Colobognatha form the sistergroup to Eugnatha, the latter split intomonophyletic Juliformia and Polydesmida þ Nematophora.
