Geophilus dentatus is a species of soil centipede in the family Geophilidae found in Hokkaido. [1] It's yellow in color, 25 millimeters in length, with 41-47 leg pairs and two clearly visible terminal pores (pores at the base of the final leg pair). It's very similar to G. truncorum , but differs in the number of outer palpi on the 1st maxillae, the presence of denticles in the midpiece of the labrum, and the number of terminal pores. [2]
