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.
