Gonatotrichus minutus is a species of millipede in the family Siphonophoridae, described in 1922 by the Swiss zoologist Johann Carl. The species is endemic to Malaysia. Individuals are very small, around 5 millimetres (0.20 in) long and, 0.7 mm wide, with around 40 body segments. The color is brownish-yellow, with lighter-colored legs. It differs from other Malaysian siphonophorids by its small size, the aspect ratio of its beak and antennae and the shape of the front gonopods. [1]
