Abstract
A small millipede with distinctive tergal ornament is described from the Westgrove Ironstone Member in the upper part of the Early Jurassic Evergreen Formation in the Surat Basin, Queensland. Its taxonomic placement within the class is uncertain at present as the species displays characters of two orders and is incompletely known. It is the first description of fossils of the class Diplopoda from Australia. The material, consisting of two poorly preserved incomplete individuals is described as Decorotergum warrenae gen. et sp. nov.
