Parascutigera dahli | |
Parascutigera dahli is a species of centipede in the Scutigeridae family. It was described in 1904 by German myriapodologist Karl Wilhelm Verhoeff. [1] [2]
The species occurs in New Britain, in the Bismarck Archipelago. The type locality is Ralum, Kokopo. [2]
Lithobius is a large genus of centipedes in the family Lithobiidae, commonly called stone centipedes, common centipedes or brown centipedes.
Scolopendra is a species-rich genus of large tropical centipedes of the family Scolopendridae.
KarlWilhelm Verhoeff was a German myriapodologist and entomologist, specialising in myriapods as well as woodlice and to a lesser extent insects.
Scutigeridae is a family of centipedes that are known as house centipedes. It includes most of the species of house centipedes, including Scutigera coleoptrata and Allothereua maculata.
Allothereua is a genus of scutigeromorph centipedes containing 9 species ranging from Central Asia to the Philippines to Australia, where at least six species are found. A 2009 study of scutigeromorph phylogeny found Allothereua to be polyphyletic; some species were more closely related to Parascutigera.
Stigmatogaster is a genus of centipedes in the family Himantariidae. Centipedes in this genus range from 5 cm to 10 cm in length, have 83 to 111 pairs of legs, and are found in the Mediterranean region. This genus contains the following species:
Robert Latzel was an Austrian myriapodologist and entomologist who published a series of pioneering works on millipedes, centipedes, and allies. His collection of myriapod specimens, today housed in the Natural History Museum of Vienna, includes many type specimens. His monographs on the myriapods of the Austro-Hungarian Empire were the first comprehensive treatments of the large region's centipede and millipede faunas. He named nearly 130 taxa of millipedes and over 40 centipede groups, as well as four taxa each of pauropods and symphylans. His work on millipedes pioneered the use of gonopods in millipede classification and species recognition. At least three authors have honored Latzel by naming a genus Latzelia.
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.
Pselliodidae is a family of small centipedes, identical and closely related to house centipedes.
Tygarrup is a genus of centipedes in the family Mecistocephalidae, found mainly in southeast Asia and from the Seychelles to Hawaii. Although species in this genus can have either 43 or 45 leg-bearing segments, most of these species have 45 leg pairs. An undescribed Tygarrup species found in the Andaman Islands has 43 leg pairs. Centipedes in this genus range from 2 cm to 6 cm in length. Tygarrup javanicus is one of the smallest of the mecistocephalid species and has become an invasive in greenhouses in Europe.
Ballophilus mauritianus is a species of centipede in the genus Ballophilus and is found in Mauritius. The original description of this species is based on specimens measuring 28 mm to 30 mm in length with 51 pairs of legs.
Geophilus labrofissus is a species of soil centipede in the family Geophilidae found on the Balkan Peninsula. It's a poorly defined species of uncertain identity that was first described in Zoologische Jahrbücher. Abteilung für Systematik, Ökologie und Geographie der Tiere. This species has 59 pairs of legs.
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.
Steneurytion is a genus of centipedes in the family Geophilidae. It was first described by Austrian myriapodologist Carl Attems in 1909.
Mecistocephalus mater is a species of centipede in the Mecistocephalidae family. It is endemic to Australia, and was first described in 1925 by German myriapodologist Karl Wilhelm Verhoeff.
Schendyla is a genus of centipedes in the family Schendylidae. It was described by Danish entomologists Vilhelm Bergsøe and Frederik Vilhelm August Meinert in 1866. Centipedes in this genus range from about 1 cm to about 4 cm in length and have from 31 to 57 pairs of legs. The species Schendyla verneri is notable for its small size and for having only 31 leg pairs, the minimum found in this genus. Other small species with notably few legs in this genus include S. walachica and S. dalmatica. Males of the species S. monoeci measure 17.5 mm in length and can have from 51 to as many as 57 leg pairs, the maximum number found in this genus. Descriptions of the species S. vizzavonae report no more than 51 leg pairs, but this species is notable for its relatively large size, reaching 45 mm in length.
Allothereua bidenticulata is a species of centipede in the Scutigeridae family. It is endemic to Australia. It was first described in 1925 by German myriapodologist Karl Wilhelm Verhoeff.
Parascutigera is a genus of centipedes in the family Scutigeridae. It was described by German myriapodologist Karl Wilhelm Verhoeff in 1904.
Ballonema is a monotypic genus of centipedes in the family Scutigeridae. It was described in 1904 by German myriapodologist Karl Wilhelm Verhoeff. Its sole species is Ballonema gracilipes Verhoeff, 1904.
Podothereua is a monotypic genus of centipedes in the family Scutigeridae. It was described in 1905 by German myriapodologist Karl Wilhelm Verhoeff. Its sole species is Podothereua insularum Verhoeff, 1905.
