Barydesmus sp ?, Masoala, Madagascar

Another mysterious insect from Madagascar, this one looking like a piece of jewelry. My knowledge of millipedes is non-existing and online resources are scarce. My guess so far is that this is some kind of flat-backed millipede, possibly from the Barydesmus genus.
