Geophilus okolonae is a species of soil centipede in the family Geophilidae found in Okolona, Arkansas.[1] It grows up to 40 millimeters long and has 61-63 leg pairs. G. okolonae differs from other North American species by the exposed prebasal plates and absence of coxal pores.[2]
Taxonomy
G. okolonae was considered a junior synonym of Geophilus rubens (which is itself synonymous with Geophilus vittatus) by Chamberlin and a junior synonym of G. vittatus by Kevan, but it differs from both these species according to the original description.[1]
