===Outline of classification===
{{Details|List of millipede families}}
The higher-level classification of millipedes is presented below, based on Shear, 2011,<ref name="Shear 2011 class." /> and Shear & Edgecombe, 2010<ref name=Shear.Edgecombe2010/> (extinct groups). Recent cladistic and molecular studies have challenged the traditional classification schemes above, and in particular the position of the orders Siphoniulida and Polyzoniida is not yet well established.<ref name=SierwaldBond2007 /> The placement and positions of extinct groups (†) known only from fossils is tentative and not fully resolved.<ref name="SierwaldBond2007" /><ref name="Shear.Edgecombe2010">{{cite journal |last1=Shear |first1=William A. |author-link=William Shear |last2=Edgecombe |first2=Gregory D. |year=2010 |title=The geological record and phylogeny of the Myriapoda |journal=Arthropod Structure & Development |volume=39 |issue=2–3 |pages=174–190 |doi=10.1016/j.asd.2009.11.002 |pmid=19944188|bibcode=2010ArtSD..39..174S }}</ref> After each name is listed the [[author citation (zoology)|author citation]]: the name of the person who coined the name or defined the group, even if not at the current rank.
