Millipedes encompass all of the Diplopoda class. Arthropleuridea is a subclass under Diplopoda.

And the fact it was herbivorous like millipedes are also quite interesting

Those fern spores were actually found fossilized to the arthropod rather than in its stomach, so that's out the window.
Judging by the fact that it's a millipede though, we can either assume it was an herbivore or a hypocarnivorous (not eating a lot of meat) omnivore.
