The size correlations of a forest genus of diplopods belonging to the order Spirobolida found along the eastern coast of southern Africa were investigated. The Pearson Correlation Coefficient Calculator was used to assess for correlations between four morphometric parameters for male and female lengths (mm) and widths (mm) collected from literature. In a study of 22 Centrobolus species, positive relationships were discovered. Male and female lengths and widths were shown to have strong positive connections. Female length and male width had a moderately favourable connection (r=0.72, Z score=3.91, n=22, p0.01). Male length and female width had a positive connection (r=0.62, Z score=3.16, n=22, p0.01). Male length/female width correlation (z=1.93, n=22, 22, p=0.05) differed from male length/female width correlation.
