Litiulus is a genus of millipedes of the order Julida. It is monotypic, with the only species Litiulus alaskanus. It feeds primarily on fruiting fungal bodies, and occasionally species of slime molds. It thrives in northeastern Pacific old growth rainforests. It may be uniquely adapted to be hardier than other species of millipedes that share its range, with an ability to endure harsher and drier climates.{{cite journal |last1=Isobel A |first1=Pearsall |title=UTILITY OF GROUND BEETLES (COLEOPTERA: CARABIDAE) AS INDICATOR SPECIES FOR MONITORING BIODIVERSITY EFFECTS FROM VARIABLE RETENTION HARVESTING PRACTICES |journal=BC Forest Science Program |date=January 2006 |pages=127 |url=https://www.for.gov.bc.ca/hfd/library/fia/2006/FSP_Y061029a.pdf}}
