According to a publication in Nature Scientific Reports from Dec 16, 2021, a millipedes species has been discovered in 60m depth in Australia, where the males have been counted to foster 818 legs, while the females are the only exemplars of millipedes known today to exceed the count of 1000 legs by a margin: They are reported to walk on 1306 legs attached to 330 segments or rings. There are no millipedes with exactly 1000 legs.
The newly discovered species is called Eumillipes persephone.
