Kirkayakidae is a family of millipedes belonging to the order Chordeumatida. This family was formerly known as Altajellidae. Adult millipedes in this family have 28 segments (counting the collum as the first segment and the telson as the last) rather than the 30 segments usually found in chordeumatidans.
