      abstract     = {Millipedes (Diplopoda) are an abundant group of fossilized
                      terrestrial arthropods throughout the Palaeozoic Era.
                      However, there is a gap in the Mesozoic Period with only
                      slightly more than a dozen fossils known, until more recent
                      fossil records – mainly from Cenozoic Dominican and Baltic
                      ambers – became available. Here, we describe a millipede
                      of the family Siphonorhinidae from Myanmar amber, a
                      species-poor group, comprising just six extant genera,
                      disjunctly distributed in Southeast Asia, South Africa,
                      Madagascar, Chile and California. Micro-computed tomography
                      (µ-CT) enabled detailed visualizations of essential
                      elements for description, including the tergites, legs,
                      head, antenna, and notably the gonopods. The new genus
                      shares some characteristics with species of the extant genus
                      Siphonorhinus Pocock, 1894. Protosiphonorhinus
                      patrickmuelleri gen. et sp. nov. differs from extant species
                      of the family mainly in the shape of the antenna, tergites,
                      and anterior gonopods. A recently described fossil species
                      of Siphonophorida from Myanmar amber was erroneously
                      assigned to the family Siphonorhinidae. We transfer it to
                      the family Siphonophoridae, as Siphonophora globosa (Su, Cai
                      $\&$ Huang, 2024) comb. nov. The description of the new
                      genus and the reinterpretation of the previously described
                      fossil Siphonorhinidae allows for a rejection of a
                      hypothesis of bradytely within the Siphonorhinidae from the
                      mid-Cretaceous to the present day.},
