A palaeosomatid millipede, associated with plant material and trigonotarbid arthropods, is reported from the Carboniferous (Namurian A) of Silesia. The millipede is similar to congeneric specimens previously described from the Westphalian A of England. Palaeosomatids, contrary to previous reports, are not spinous, but do share a number of characters with spinous archipolypods. The occurrence of congeneric forms of Palaeosoma in Silesia and England provide further evidence of the broad distribution of millipede genera in the Euroamerican tropics during the Carboniferous. The new family Palaeosomatidae and new order Palaeosomatida are proposed to include the single genus Palaeosoma.
