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.
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, also known as the striped centipede, royal blue centipede or purple centipede for its varied patterning and colouration, 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. It is endemic to Australia, and was first described by Austrian myriapodologist Carl Attems in 1909. Centipedes in this genus range from about 2 cm to 5 cm in length and have 49 to 79 pairs of legs.
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.

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.
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.
