Dignathodontidae is a monophyletic clade of soil centipedes in the family Geophilidae [1] found in the Mediterranean region, extending to Macaronesia, Caucasus, and western and central Europe. The clade is characterized by a gradually anteriorly tapered body, a short head with non-attenuated antennae, and a poorly sclerotized labrum with tubercles. [2] The number of legs in this clade varies within as well as among species and ranges from 43 pairs (in Henia brevis [3] ) to 153 pairs of legs (in Henia devia [4] ). [2] Species in this clade tend to have more leg-bearing segments and greater intraspecific variability in this number than generally found in the family Geophilidae. [5]
