The Geophilidae are a polyphyletic, cosmopolitan family of soil centipedes in the superfamily Geophiloidea[3] containing the mostly defunct clades Aphilodontidae,[4] Dignathodontidae,[5] Linotaeniidae,[6] Chilenophilinae,[7] and Macronicophilidae.[8]
Description
Species in this family are characterized by mandibles with a single pectinate lamella, slender antennae, sternal pores with variable arrangement, a generally slightly or moderately elongate head, frequently undivided coxosternite with two paramedian sclerotized lines, claws without rows of filament, and female gonopods usually being an undivided lamina.[9]
Compared to most other families in the suborder Adesmata, this family features a modest number of leg-bearing segments and limited variation in this number within each species.[10] Two European species in this family include centipedes with only 29 pairs of legs: Geophilus persephones (29 in the only specimen, a male), and G. richardi (29 or 31 in males and 33 in females).[11][12] In the order Geophilomorpha, only two species include centipedes with fewer leg pairs, both of them in the family Schendylidae.[11] Several other species in the family Geophilidae are known from specimens with notably few leg pairs in each sex, including Ribautia platensis (as few as 31 in each sex),[13] G. hadesi (33 in each sex),[14] Schendyloides alacer (as few as 33 in each sex),[15] and Strigamia sibirica (as few as 33 in each sex).[16]
