Rhysida is a large genus of Scolopendromorph centipedes in the subfamily Otostigminae. [2] [3] It is the second largest genus in the subfamily Otostigminae, with species found in the Neotropics, Indo-Malaya, and Africa. [4] It shares some morphological characteristics with the genus Alluropus, and its phylogeny in the subfamily Otostigminae is somewhat uncertain. [5]

Species

There are about 40 species: [6] [7] [8] [9]
