Oryidae is a monophyletic family of soil centipedes belonging to the superfamily Himantarioidea.[1]
Description
These centipedes are very elongated with a high mean number of trunk segments (often greater than 100) and great variability in this number within species.[2] The number of leg-bearing segments in this family varies within as well as among species and ranges from 53 to 169.[3] The minimum number of legs recorded in this family (53 pairs) appears in the species Orphnaeus brevilabiatus;[4] the maximum number (169 pairs) appears in the species Titanophilus maximus.[5][3]
Distribution
Centipedes in this family are found in tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas, Africa, Madagascar , south Asia, Australia , and some Pacific islands.[3]
