Schendyla is a genus of centipedes in the family Schendylidae. It was described by Danish entomologists Vilhelm Bergsøe and Frederik Vilhelm August Meinert in 1866.[1][2] Centipedes in this genus range from 1 cm to about 4 cm in length and have from 31 to 57 pairs of legs.[3] The species Schendyla verneri is notable for its small size (9 mm to 10 mm in length) and for having only 31 leg pairs, the minimum recorded in this genus.[4] Other small species with notably few legs in this genus include S. walachica (reaching only 14 mm in length, with as few as 33 pairs in males and 35 in females), S. dalmatica (10 mm in length, with 37 pairs in males and 39 in females), S. dentata (12 mm in length, with 39 pairs in females),[5] S. gracillima (10 mm in length, with as few as 35 leg pairs).[6] and S. armata (11 mm in length, with as few as 33 leg pairs).[7][8] The species S. monoeci measures only 17.5 mm in length but can have from 51 to as many as 57 leg pairs, the maximum number found in this genus.[5] Descriptions of the species S. vizzavonae report no more than 51 leg pairs, but this species is notable for its relatively large size, reaching 45 mm in length.[5]
