Geophilus pusillifrater is a species of soil centipede in the family Geophilidae found in Bosnia-Herzegovina [1] and Britain. [2] It's a relatively small, pale species (up to 13mm in length), [3] prehensorial claws with pointed teeth at the base, distinct chitin lines, and a very broad ventral plate of the pregenital segment. [1] It's at least partially a littoral creature. [2] Males of this species have 39 or 41 pairs of legs; females have 43 leg pairs. [4]
