In the diplopod genus Centrobolus, sexual size dimorphism (SSD) has a positive connection with body size. Spirobolida diplopod species can be identified using size criteria. The key components of interspecific variation in diplopod species are length, width, and rings. In six species, interspecific size variation was estimated, and data sets were checked for normality. All of the data that was observed and tested was normal. The goal was to use MEDCALC® to measure and compare intersexual variation (coefficients of variation) in length and width in nine species. There was a considerable directional selection for slender males in C. digrammus, C. inscriptus, and C. silvanus.
