Cormocephalus inermipes is a species of centipedes in the family Scolopendridae. [2] It is endemic to Sri Lanka.
Scolopendridae is a family of large centipedes. Nearly all species in this family have four ocelli on each side of the head and only 21 pairs of legs, but there are exceptions: two scolopendrid species feature more legs, and some scolopendrid species are eyeless and blind. Three Asian members of this family, Scolopendra cataracta, Scolopendra paradoxa, and Scolopendra alcyona, are known to show amphibious behaviour. Two other species, Scolopendra hardwickei and Hemiscolopendra marginata, are known to show sexual dimorphism in the composition of their venom.

Asanada is a genus of centipedes in the subfamily Scolopendrinae. It has thirteen known species, which usually grow between 25–35 mm (0.98–1.38 in) in length. It can be distinguished from the genus Cormocephalus by having smooth anal pleurae, but is otherwise quite similar in appearance. The type species of the genus is A. brevicornis, the type specimen of which was collected in Kulu, India.
Arthrorhabdus, from the Greek ἄρθρον, a joint, and ῥάβδος, a staff, is a genus of Scolopendrid centipede in the subfamily Scolopendrinae. Species are found in Mexico and the Southern United States, Australia (A. paucispinus & A. mjöbergi), and South Africa (A. formosus). Since a reapprasial in the genus in 2010, the genus only has four species. It may be polyphyletic.
