Otostigmus multidens is a species of centipede in the Scolopendridae family. It was described in 1887 by German entomologist Erich Haase. [1] [2]
The species occurs in Sulawesi and New Guinea. The type locality is Sulawesi. [2]

Allothereua maculata is a species of centipedes found in Australia known as the house centipede – a name applied elsewhere to other species.
Scolopendra hardwickei, the Indian tiger centipede, is a species of centipede in the family Scolopendridae.
Geophilus is a large, heterogeneous genus of soil centipedes in the family Geophilidae largely considered to be synonymous with Brachygeophilus. The generic name first appeared in Brewster's Edinburgh Encyclopaedia in 1814 as Geophilus electricus. This genus has a Holarctic distribution.
Ethmostigmus is a genus of centipedes in the family Scolopendridae found in Africa, Asia, and Oceania that is characterised by its large, rounded spiracles.
Cryptops megalopora is a species of centipede in the Cryptopidae family. It is native to Australia and New Zealand and was first described in 1887 by German entomologist Erich Haase.
Otostigmus is a genus of centipedes in the family Scolopendridae. It was first described by Swedish naturalist Carl Oscar von Porat in 1876. The genus as a whole comprises around 157 species, found primarily in the Neotropics.
Rhysida carinulata is a species of centipede in the Scolopendridae family. It is found in Australia and New Guinea, and was first described in 1887 by German entomologist Erich Haase.
Scolopendra laeta is a species of centipede in the Scolopendridae family. It is endemic to Australia, and was first described in 1887 by German entomologist Erich Haase.
Sepedonophilus is a genus of three species of centipedes in the family Geophilidae. This genus is endemic to Australia, and was first described by Austrian myriapodologist Carl Attems in 1909. Centipedes in this genus feature scattered coxal pores and have no sternal pores; the lateral parts of the labrum almost touch medially, and the intermediate part is inconspicuous; the coxosternite of the second maxillae have peculiar anterior projections. These centipedes range from about 2 cm to 5 cm in length and have 49 to 79 pairs of legs. The smallest species in this genus, Sepedonophilus hodites, measures only 18 mm in length and has only 49 leg pairs, the minimum number recorded in this genus, whereas the largest species, S. perforatus, measures 50 mm in length and has 79 leg pairs, the maximum number recorded in this genus.
Geomerinus is a monotypic genus of centipedes in the family Geophilidae. It was described by French myriapodologist Henry Wilfred Brolemann in 1912. Its sole species is Geomerinus curtipes, originally described as Geophilus curtipes by Erich Haase in 1887. It is endemic to Australia.
Sepedonophilus perforatus is a species of centipede in the Geophilidae family. It is endemic to Australia, and was first described in 1887 by German entomologist Erich Haase.
Australiophilus is a genus of two species of centipedes, in the family Zelanophilidae. This genus was described by German myriapodologist Karl Wilhelm Verhoeff in 1925. Centipedes in this genus are found in Australia and New Zealand.
Mecistocephalus is the largest genus of centipedes in the family Mecistocephalidae, with about 140 species. This genus is among the most diverse and widespread of all the genera in the order Geophilomorpha. The British entomologist George Newport first proposed this genus in 1843 to contain a group of centipedes marked by an unusual elongation of the head.
Paralamyctes is a genus of centipedes in the family Henicopidae. It was described by British zoologist Reginald Innes Pocock in 1901.
Australiophilus ferrugineus is a species of centipede in the Zelanophilidae family. It is endemic to New Zealand. It was first described in 1877 by New Zealand biologist Frederick Hutton. Since then, authorities have recognized two junior synonyms, deeming Geophilus huttoni a synonym in 1936 and Geophilus polyporus a synonym in 2014.
Paralamyctes insularis is a species of centipede in the Henicopidae family. It is endemic to New Zealand. It was first described in 1887 by German entomologist Erich Haase.
Mecistocephalus porosus is a species of centipede in the Mecistocephalidae family. It was described in 1887 by German entomologist Erich Haase. Haase described a specimen measuring 41 mm in length and deemed it to be a representative of a subspecies of M. tahitiensis. Some others have considered this centipede to be synonymous with M. tahitiensis.
Mecistocephalus gigas is a species of centipede in the Mecistocephalidae family. It was described in 1887 by German entomologist Erich Haase. This species has 51 pairs of legs and can reach 105 mm in length.
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.
