Apfelbeckia insculpta (L. Koch, 1867) is one of the largest European   millipedes and an endemic species of the Balkan Peninsula. We present data   on sexual dimorphism in size and body proportions obtained from 179 adult   specimens of this species from four caves in Serbia and one in Montenegro   using univariate and multivariate morphometric techniques. Sexual dimorphism   was apparent and female-biased for all measured characters, except for   lengths of the antennae and the 24th leg pair (which were larger in males)   and lengths of the first, second and fourth leg pairs, which exhibited small   differences between sexes. Generally, females had significantly greater body   size than males, while males expressed significantly greater values in   traits that can be associated with mobility and copulation behavior. Also,   we found significant variations in sexual size and body proportions   dimorphism among analyzed populations. The influences of fecundity and   sexual selection on the adult body plan in A. insculpta are discussed.   [Projekat Ministarstva nauke Republike Srbije, br. 173038
