Deskripsi
This editorial highlights the importance to taxonomy of an innovative illustration technique (Akkari et al. 2013, Cheung et al. 2013) that allows integration of scanning electron microscope images into an interactive rotatable model (rSEM) to visualize complex morphological features. It also introduces a highly visual identification key to 12 millipede species from Tunisiathat uses simultaneously line drawings, photographs, scanning electron micrographs and interactive rotatable modelsto illustrate most informative taxonomic characters in the studied group.
