  1. Armored Millipede seems to be a general name for about 8000 different species of millipedes worldwide:

    These sites contain "Alpine Armoured Millipede" but no scientific name because they are more commercial sites, I suppose:

    For complete Millipede-taxonomy go to Diplopoda on this site:

    There you find Subclass Helminthomorpha:

    The most  "Armored ( quasi in full panoply ) Millipedes" belong to Order Julida

    Hope it helps a bit.
