Cryptops nanus is a species of centipede in the Cryptopidae family. It was described in 1938 by Austrian myriapodologist Carl Attems. [1] [2]
The species occurs in the Hawaiian Islands. The type locality is Honolulu. [2]
Lithobius is a large genus of centipedes in the family Lithobiidae, commonly called stone centipedes, common centipedes or brown centipedes.
Scolopendridae is a family of large centipedes.
Scolopendra is a species-rich genus of large tropical centipedes of the family Scolopendridae.
Robert Latzel was an Austrian myriapodologist and entomologist who published a series of pioneering works on millipedes, centipedes, and allies. His collection of myriapod specimens, today housed in the Natural History Museum of Vienna, includes many type specimens. His monographs on the myriapods of the Austro-Hungarian Empire were the first comprehensive treatments of the large region's centipede and millipede faunas. He named nearly 130 taxa of millipedes and over 40 centipede groups, as well as four taxa each of pauropods and symphylans. His work on millipedes pioneered the use of gonopods in millipede classification and species recognition. At least three authors have honored Latzel by naming a genus Latzelia.
Orya barbarica is a species of centipedes belonging to the family Oryidae.
Bothropolys is a genus of centipedes in the family Lithobiidae.
Scolopendra hardwickei, the Indian tiger centipede, is a species of centipede in the family Scolopendridae.
Otostigmus scaber is a species of centipedes in the family Scolopendridae. The species is distributed in a broad range from Réunion and Australia's Cocos (Keeling) Islands in the Indian Ocean, through South Asian countries to Taiwan, Vietnam and Hawaii.
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.
Schendylidae is a family of centipedes in the order Geophilomorpha.
Strigamia is a genus of soil centipedes in the family Linotaeniidae. Members of this family can be identified by their anteriorly tapering bodies, the extra claw on the forcipules, scattered coxal pores, and the distinctly swollen ultimate legs of the males. There are at least 50 described species in Strigamia. Centipedes in this genus can reach 15 cm in length and can have as few as 31 pairs of legs or as many as 83 leg pairs. The species S. hoffmani is notable for its small size as well as for a small number of legs. Other species with notably few legs include S. sibirica and S. lutea.
Ballophilus is the largest genus of centipedes in the family Ballophilidae. Species in this genus are found in tropical and subtropical regions, mainly in Africa and southeast Asia.
Ballophilus flavescens is a species of centipede in the genus Ballophilus. It is found in Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam. The original description of this species is based on male specimens measuring 21 mm in length, pale yellow in color, with 63 to 69 pairs of legs.
Geophilus labrofissus is a species of soil centipede in the family Geophilidae found on the Balkan Peninsula. It's a poorly defined species of uncertain identity that was first described in Zoologische Jahrbücher. Abteilung für Systematik, Ökologie und Geographie der Tiere. This species has 59 pairs of legs.
Cryptops sometimes known as cave centipedes, is a centipede genus in the family Cryptopidae; species records have a world-wide distribution.
Steneurytion is a genus of centipedes in the family Geophilidae. It was first described by Austrian myriapodologist Carl Attems in 1909.
Queenslandophilus is a genus of centipedes in the family Geophilidae. It was described by German myriapodologist Karl Wilhelm Verhoeff in 1925. Centipedes in this genus range from 1 cm to 6 cm in length, have 37 to 75 pairs of legs, and are found in Australia, Japan, and North America. The species Queenslandophilus macropalpus has only 37 leg pairs, the minimum number found in this genus, whereas Q. elongatus has 73 to 75 leg pairs, the maximum found in this genus. The Japanese species Q. monoporus and Q. macropalpus are notable for their small sizes, measuring only 10 mm and 15 mm in length, respectively.
Bothropolys maluhianus is a species of centipede in the Lithobiidae family. It was described in 1914 by Austrian myriapodologist Carl Attems.
Marsikomerus is a genus of centipedes in the family Schendylidae. It was described by Austrian myriapodologist Carl Attems in 1938. Species in this genus are found in Mexico and in the United States.
Pleotarsobius is a monotypic genus of centipedes in the family Henicopidae. It was described in 1909 by Austrian myriapodologist Carl Attems. The sole species is Pleotarsobius heterotarsus.
