Ribautia brittini is a species of centipede in the Geophilidae family. It is endemic to New Zealand. It was first described in 1922 by New Zealand zoologist Gilbert Archey. [1] [2]
This species ranges from 17 mm to 31 mm in length and has 51 to 57 segments, with the number of segments increasing with the length of the centipede. [3]
The species occurs on the South Island. The type locality is Waipara, in the north of the Canterbury Region. [2]
Zelanophilidae is a family of centipedes belonging to the order Geophilomorpha and superfamily Geophiloidea. Centipedes in this family are found in the Australasian region. The smallest species in this family, Tasmanophilus spenceri, measures only 23 mm in length and has only 39 pairs of legs, the minimum number recorded in this family. The largest species in this family, Australiophilus ferrugineus, can reach 120 mm in length and can have as many as 109 leg pairs. The species Australiophilus longissimus can reach 72 mm in length and can have as many as 117 leg pairs, the maximum number recorded in this family.
