Paracryptops is a genus of centipedes in the family Cryptopidae. It was described in 1891 by British myriapodologist Reginald Innes Pocock. [1] [2]
There are five valid species: [2]
Lithobius is a large genus of centipedes in the family Lithobiidae, commonly called stone centipedes, common centipedes or brown centipedes.
Scolopendridae is a family of large centipedes.
Cormocephalus is a genus of centipedes of the family Scolopendridae, containing the following species:
Scolopendra is a species-rich genus of large tropical centipedes of the family Scolopendridae.
The Geophilidae are a polyphyletic, cosmopolitan family of soil centipedes in the superfamily Geophiloidea containing the mostly defunct clades Aphilodontidae, Dignathodontidae, Linotaeniidae, Chilenophilinae, and Macronicophilidae.
Cormocephalus inermipes is a species of centipedes in the family Scolopendridae. It is endemic to Sri Lanka.
Geophilus is a large, heterogeneous genus of soil centipedes in the family Geophilidae largely considered to be synonymous with Brachygeophilus. It is a mostly holarctic genus characterized by a claw-shaped ultimate pretarsus, anterior porefields, complete or nearly complete coxo-pleural sutures at the prosternum, and incomplete chitin-lines. Centipedes in this genus range from 1 cm to 8 cm in length. The generic name first appeared in Brewster's Edinburgh Encyclopaedia in 1814 as Geophilus electricus.
Arthrorhabdus, from the Greek ἄρθρον, a joint, and ῥάβδος, a staff, is a genus of Scolopendrid centipede in the subfamily Scolopendrinae. Species are found in Mexico and the Southern United States, Australia (A. paucispinus & A. mjöbergi), and South Africa (A. formosus). Since a reapprasial in the genus in 2010, the genus only has four species. It may be polyphyletic.
Cryptops sometimes known as cave centipedes, is a centipede genus in the family Cryptopidae; species records have a world-wide distribution.
Rhysida is a large genus of Scolopendromorph centipedes in the subfamily Otostigminae. It is the second largest genus in the subfamily Otostigminae, with species found in the Neotropics, Indo-Malaya, and Africa. It shares some morphological characteristics with the genus Alluropus, and its phylogeny in the subfamily Otostigminae is somewhat uncertain.
Cryptops spinipes is a species of centipede in the Cryptopidae family. It is native to Oceania and was first described in 1891 by British zoologist Reginald Innes Pocock.
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.
Cormocephalus laevipes is a species of centipede in the Scolopendridae family. It was first described in 1891 by British zoologist Reginald Innes Pocock.
Tuoba is a genus of 17 species of centipedes, in the family Geophilidae. It was described by American biologist Ralph Vary Chamberlin in 1920.
Tuoba laticeps is a species of centipede in the Geophilidae family. It is endemic to Australia, and was first described in 1891 by British zoologist Reginald Innes Pocock.
Tuoba sydneyensis is a species of centipede in the Geophilidae family. It was first described in 1891 by British zoologist Reginald Innes Pocock.
Paralamyctes is a genus of centipedes in the family Henicopidae. It was described by British zoologist Reginald Innes Pocock in 1901.
Australobius is a genus of centipedes in the family Lithobiidae. It was described by American biologist Ralph Vary Chamberlin in 1920.
Paracryptops breviunguis is a species of centipede in the Cryptopidae family. It was described in 1895 by Italian myriapodologist Filippo Silvestri.
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.
