Cowiedesmus

''Cowiedesmus'' is an extinct millipede genus known from the middle Silurian of Scotland,〔 and is one of the earliest known land animals. ''Coweiedesmus'' was about 4 cm (1.6 in) long and characterized by a greatly enlarged pair of legs on the 8th segment which may have been used in clasping females or functioned as gonopods (modified legs used to insert sperm during mating). ''Coweiedesmus'' is distinct enough from other living and fossil millipedes to be placed in its own order, Cowiedesmida. The only known species, ''C. eroticopodus'', was described in 2004.
The name ''Cowiedesmus'' references the Cowie Formation, a geological formation at Cowie Harbor, near the village of Stonehaven, Scotland, where the fossil was found and ''desmus'', a common root word in millipede nomenclature meaning "bond" or "bridge". The specific epithet ''eroticopodus'' means "erotic foot".〔
