Geophilus pusillus is a species of soil centipede in the family Geophilidae found in Algeria.[1] It grows up to 11 millimeters in length.[2] The males of this species have 31 or 33 pairs of legs; females have 35 pairs.[3] Records from the Alpstein mountains indicate that G. pusillus is a soil-dwelling species (burrowing as deep as 30cm) that prefers humus-rich soil,[4] but these records deserve confirmation.[1]
