The first formal record of the pantropical millipede, Cylindrodesmus hirsutus Pocock, 1889, is given from Cameroon. The species seems to be restricted to a man-made palm plantation within the capital city of Yaoundé, apparently being represented by a bisexual population. A male is richly illustrated to confirm the identity.
