Rhysida nuda, also known as the blue-legged centipede, is a species of centipede in the Scolopendridae family. It is endemic to Australia, and was first described in 1887 by British entomologist George Newport. [1]
The species occurs in the Northern Territory, Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria. [2]
The centipedes are solitary terrestrial predators that inhabit plant litter, soil and rotting wood. [2]
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.
Cormocephalus rubriceps, also known as the Hura or giant centipede, is a large centipede of the family Scolopendridae. It is native to Australia and New Zealand, where it is found in the North Island and on islands off the North Island. At up to 25 cm in length, it is the largest centipede in New Zealand.
Allothereua maculata is a species of centipedes found in Australia known as the house centipede – a name applied elsewhere to other species.
Lithobius variegatus is a species of centipede found in Europe, sometimes called the common banded centipede or banded centipede.
Cormocephalus aurantiipes is a common species of centipede found throughout Australia, often confused with C. westwoodi. It can be found in every Australian state except Tasmania and the Northern Territory. Like most centipedes it comes in many different "colour forms", depending on locality.
Cormocephalus brachyceras is an Australian species of centipede. It is a medium-sized centipede, averaging around 100 millimetres (3.9 in) in length. It is commonly found around south-east Queensland and north-east New South Wales, under logs and rocks in a variety of habitats.
Orphnaeus brevilabiatus is a species of centipedes in the family Oryidae.
Rhysida longipes, sometimes known as Minor blue leg, is a species of centipedes in the family Scolopendridae. Three subspecies are recognized. It is sometimes used as a pet in some countries.
Pselliodidae is a family of small centipedes, identical and closely related to house centipedes.
Rhysida is a large genus of Scolopendromorph centipede 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.
Rhysida celeris, the blue-legged centipede, is a species of centipede in the subfamily Otostigminae. It is found across Latin America and the Caribbean islands. It is one of the most common and widespread species of its genus in the neotropical region, and sometimes enters houses. It can be found at a variety of altitudes, from sea level to mountains 1250 m above sea level.
Cryptops australis is a species of centipede in the Cryptopidae family. It was first described in 1845 by British entomologist George Newport. It occurs in Australia, New Zealand and Melanesia.
Rhysida polyacantha is a species of centipede in the Scolopendridae family. It is endemic to Australia, and was first described in 1985 by L. E. Koch.
Tasmanophilus is a genus of two species of centipedes, in the family Zelanophilidae. It was described by American biologist Ralph Vary Chamberlin in 1920. Centipedes in this genus are found in Australia and New Zealand.
