Australobius loriae is a species of centipede in the Lithobiidae family. It was described in 1894 by Italian myriapodologist Filippo Silvestri. [1] [2]
The species occurs in New Guinea. The type locality is Moroka, at an elevation of 1,300 m, in Papua New Guinea. [2]
Zorotypus is a genus of angel insects in the family Zorotypidae.
Ctenolepisma is a genus of primitive insects in the order Zygentoma, closely related to the silverfish and firebrat but less reliant on human habitation, some species being found both indoors and outdoors and some found exclusively outdoors. The genus is distributed nearly worldwide in warm regions. Australia lacks native Ctenolepisma, but is home to introduced species.
Ethmostigmus rubripes, commonly known as the giant centipede, is a species of centipede in the family Scolopendridae. It is a solitary nocturnal predator found across Asia and Oceania, with three subspecies currently described.
Scolopendridae is a family of large centipedes.
Polyxenida is an order of millipedes readily distinguished by a unique body plan consisting of a soft, non-calcified body ornamented with tufts of bristles – traits that have inspired the common names "bristly millipedes" or "pincushion millipedes". There are at least 86 species in four families worldwide, and are the only living members of the subclass Penicillata.
Scutigera aethiopica is a species of centipede in the family Scutigeridae. It is found in Ethiopia and Uganda.
Mecistocephalus subinsularis is a species of centipedes in the family Mecistocephalidae. It is endemic to Sri Lanka. This species has 49 pairs of legs.
Scutigerina weberi is a species of centipedes in the family Scutigerinidae.
Geophilus is a large, heterogeneous genus of soil centipedes in the family Geophilidae largely considered to be synonymous with Brachygeophilus. It is a mostly holarctic genus characterized by a claw-shaped ultimate pretarsus, anterior porefields, complete or nearly complete coxo-pleural sutures at the prosternum, and incomplete chitin-lines. Centipedes in this genus range from 1 cm to 8 cm in length. The generic name first appeared in Brewster's Edinburgh Encyclopaedia in 1814 as Geophilus electricus.
Chileana is a genus of soil centipedes in the clade Linotaeniidae and family Geophilidae found in southern Chile. It currently has only one species, C. araucanensis. Females of this species are about 30mm long, with a pale yellow body and a red head; bearing 12–15 pleural pores; long, tapering antennae with sparse basal sections and rather hairy distal sections; and a labrum with four median tubercles bearing a few cilia on the sides. Males have 10 pleural pores, thick ultimate legs armed with claws, and 43 leg pairs.
Aphilodontidae is a monophyletic clade of soil centipedes in the family Geophilidae found in South America and South Africa. These centipedes are closely related to Geoperingueyia and characterized by shieldlike setae on the front of the head, lateral parts of the flattened cuticle above the mouthparts, and combined forcipular trochanteroprefemur and femur. The number of legs in this clade varies within species as well as among species and ranges from as few as 33 pairs of legs to as many as 93 pairs. The three species in the Brazilian genus Mecophilus have the fewest legs and smallest size in this clade. The two species with the fewest legs in the Neotropical genus Aphilodon also feature notably modest numbers with limited variation observed: A. meganae and A. indespectus. Aphilodon meganae is also notable for its small size, the smallest in its genus. Species with more legs also exhibit greater variation in the number of leg pairs.
Pachymerinus is a genus of centipedes in the family Geophilidae. It was described by Italian entomologist Filippo Silvestri in 1905. Centipedes in this genus range from 3 cm to 8 cm in length, have 47 to 81 pairs of legs, and are found in Chile and southeast Australia.
Geophilus duponti is a species of centipede in the Geophilidae family. It is endemic to Australia, and was first described in 1897 by Italian entomologist Filippo Silvestri.
Paracryptops is a genus of centipedes in the family Cryptopidae. It was described in 1891 by British myriapodologist Reginald Innes Pocock.
Paracryptops breviunguis is a species of centipede in the Cryptopidae family. It was described in 1895 by Italian myriapodologist Filippo Silvestri.
Mecistocephalus uncifer is a species of centipede in the Mecistocephalidae family. It was described in 1919 by Italian myriapodologist Filippo Silvestri. This species has 49 pairs of legs and can reach 65 mm in length.
Mecistocephalus modestus is a species of centipede in the Mecistocephalidae family. It was described in 1919 by the Italian myriapodologist Filippo Silvestri. This species has 49 pairs of legs and can reach 35 mm in length.
Mecistocephalus subgigas is a species of centipede in the Mecistocephalidae family. It was described in 1919 by Italian myriapodologist Filippo Silvestri. This species has 49 pairs of legs and can reach 60 mm in length.
Otostigmus loriae is a species of centipede in the Scolopendridae family. It was described in 1894 by Italian myriapodologist Filippo Silvestri.
Scutigerina is a genus of centipedes in the family Scutigerinidae. It was described in 1904 by Italian myriapodologist Filippo Silvestri.
