Onomeris is a genus of pill millipede found in the eastern United States. First described by Orator F. Cook in 1896, Onomeris was first posited as the type genus of a new family called Onomeridae, but this was later rejected due to similarities between Onomeris and the European genus Glomeris, another Glomeridae genus.
