GB IUCN status: Not applicable (non-native)
Similar in appearance to, and found with Cylindrodesmus hirsutus, inside heated tropical glasshouses. However, it differs in being bright orange in life (but fades to off-white in alcohol) and has distinct paranota (bumps on the side of the body).

It is native to Indonesia in the South Pacific where it has been found among forest litter and guano in a cave.
