Geophilus pusillifrater is a species of soil centipede in the family Geophilidae found in Bosnia-Herzegovina[1] and Britain.[2] It's a relatively small, pale species (up to 13mm in length) with just 41-43 leg pairs,[3] prehensorial claws with pointed teeth at the base, distinct chitin lines, and a very broad ventral plate of the pregenital segment.[1] It's at least partially a littoral creature.[2]
