Dichelobius is a genus of centipedes in the family Henicopidae. It was described by Austrian myriapodologist Carl Attems in 1911. [1] [2]
There are three valid species: [2]
Scolopendridae is a family of large centipedes.
Cormocephalus is a genus of centipedes of the family Scolopendridae, containing the following species:
Oryidae is a monophyletic family of soil centipedes belonging to the superfamily Himantarioidea.
Ethmostigmus is a genus of centipedes in the family Scolopendridae found in Africa, Asia, and Oceania that is characterised by its large, rounded spiracles.
Rhysida is a large genus of Scolopendromorph centipedes in the subfamily Otostigminae. It is the second largest genus in the subfamily Otostigminae, with species found in the Neotropics, Indo-Malaya, and Africa. It shares some morphological characteristics with the genus Alluropus, and its phylogeny in the subfamily Otostigminae is somewhat uncertain.
Sepedonophilus is a genus of three species of centipedes in the family Geophilidae. It is endemic to Australia, and was first described by Austrian myriapodologist Carl Attems in 1909. Centipedes in this genus range from about 2 cm to 5 cm in length and have 49 to 79 pairs of legs.
Steneurytion is a genus of centipedes in the family Geophilidae. It was first described by Austrian myriapodologist Carl Attems in 1909.
Steneurytion incisunguis is a species of centipede in the Geophilidae family. It is endemic to Australia, and was first described in 1911 by Austrian myriapodologist Carl Attems.
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.
Ribautia is a genus of centipedes in the family Geophilidae. It was described by French myriapodologist Henry Wilfred Brolemann in 1909. Centipedes in this genus are found in South America, tropical Africa, Madagascar, the Arabian peninsula, Australia, New Zealand, and Melanesia.
Ribautia conifera is a species of centipede in the Geophilidae family. It is endemic to Australia, and was first described in 1911 by Austrian myriapodologist Carl Attems. These centipedes can reach 48 mm in length. Males of this species have 61 to 71 pairs of legs; females have 63 to 73 leg pairs.
Ribautia imparata is a species of centipede in the Geophilidae family. It is endemic to Australia, and was first described in 1911 by Austrian myriapodologist Carl Attems.
Ribautia repanda is a species of centipede in the Geophilidae family. It was first described in 1911 by Austrian myriapodologist Carl Attems.
Tuoba is a genus of 17 species of centipedes, in the family Geophilidae. It was described by American biologist Ralph Vary Chamberlin in 1920.
Schendyla is a genus of centipedes in the family Schendylidae. It was described by Danish entomologists Vilhelm Bergsøe and Frederik Vilhelm August Meinert in 1866. Centipedes in this genus range from about 1 cm to about 4 cm in length and have from 31 to 57 pairs of legs. The species Schendyla verneri is notable for its small size and for having only 31 leg pairs, the minimum found in this genus. Other small species with notably few legs in this genus include S. walachica and S. dalmatica. Males of the species S. monoeci measure 17.5 mm in length and can have from 51 to as many as 57 leg pairs, the maximum number found in this genus. Descriptions of the species S. vizzavonae report no more than 51 leg pairs, but this species is notable for its relatively large size, reaching 45 mm in length.
Dichelobius flavens is a species of centipede in the Henicopidae family. It was first described in 1911 by Austrian myriapodologist Carl Attems.
Dichelobius etnaensis is a species of centipede in the Henicopidae family. It is endemic to Australia. It was first described in 2004.
Lamyctes is a genus of centipedes in the family Henicopidae. It was described by Danish entomologist Frederik Vilhelm August Meinert in 1868.
Maoriella is a genus of centipedes in the family Geophilidae. It was described by Austrian myriapodologist Carl Attems in 1903. Species in this genus are found in New Zealand, Australia, and Tahiti.
Otostigminae is a large subfamily of centipedes, containing nearly half of all species in the family Scolopendridae. Members of this subfamily are abundant and widespread throughout the tropical and subtropical regions of the world, mostly in Africa, Asia, and Australia.
