Geophilus aetnensis is a species of soil centipede in the family Geophilidae found in Europe and northern Asia, excluding China.[2] As described by Verhoeff in 1928, it grows up to 28 millimeters and has 53 leg pairs, 4 sensory setae each on the 2nd-4th front sternites, slightly notched maxillae, and very faint sternal pits on the thorax[3] as well as poorly developed sternal grooves.[4]
Taxonomy
G. aetnensis is frequently mistaken with G. impressus and was found to be synonymous with its subspecies G. insculptus debilis.[5] Some consider G. gavoyi to be a synonym of G. aetnensis,[6] but this is not official.[7]
