Gonibregmatus is a genus of centipedes in the family Gonibregmatidae. It was described by British entomologist George Newport in 1843.[1][2]
Description
This genus ranges in length from about 10 cm to 15 cm and has 99 to 191 pairs of legs.[3] The small species Gonibregmatus olivaceus (with males 97 mm long and females 110 mm long) can have as few as 99 leg pairs (males with 99 to 103 pairs, females with 113 pairs), the minimum number in this genus.[4] The smallest species, G. insularis, reaches only 97 mm in length, whereas the largest species, G. fijianus, can reach 150 mm in length.[5] The species G. plurimipes can have as many as 191 leg pairs, the maximum number found in the class Chilopoda.[6]
