Distribution of giant pill-millipedes (Zephronia cf. viridescens) and flat-backed millipedes (Orthomorpha variegata) were examined in dry evergreen forest, ecotone, dry dipterocarp forest, and plantation forest in Sakaerat Environmental Research Station (SERS), Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand between June 2010 and May 2011. Abundance of Z. cf. viridescens was highest in plantation forest during the rainy season. Density of O. variegate was the highest in dry evergreen forest, having two regular peaks in the winter and the rainy season. Abundance of Z. cf. viridescens was positively correlated with soil temperature, air temperature and potassium (p = 0.01), while O. variegata was positively correlated with soil moisture (p = 0.01). Distribution pattern, abundance and ecology of them in relation to soil qualities and climatic factors were compared with millipedes of other regions.
