Queenslandophilus is a genus of centipedes in the family Geophilidae. It was described by German myriapodologist Karl Wilhelm Verhoeff in 1925.[2] Centipedes in this genus range from 1 cm to 6 cm in length, have 37 to 75 pairs of legs, and are found in Australia , Japan , and North America.[3][4] The Japanese species Queenslandophilus monoporus and Q. macropalpus are notable for their small sizes, measuring only 10 mm and 15 mm in length, respectively.[4][5] The species Q. elongatus, found in California, is notable for its large size, ranging from 40 mm to 63 mm in length.[6] The species Q. macropalpus has only 37 leg pairs, the minimum number recorded in this genus, whereas Q. elongatus has 73 to 75 leg pairs, the maximum number recorded in this genus.[7]
