Stigmatogaster is a genus of centipedes in the family Himantariidae. Centipedes in this genus range from 5 cm to 10 cm in length, have 83 to 111 pairs of legs, and are found in the Mediterranean region.[1] This genus contains the following species:[2][3][4]

  • Stigmatogaster arcishericulis Brölemann, 1904
  • Stigmatogaster atlanteus (Verhoeff, 1938)
  • Stigmatogaster dimidiatus (Meinert, 1870)
  • Stigmatogaster excavatus (Verhoeff, 1924)
  • Stigmatogaster gracilis (Meinert, 1870)
  • Stigmatogaster sardoa Verhoeff, 1901[5]
  • Stigmatogaster superbus (Meinert, 1870)
  • Stigmatogaster tufi Iorio, 2021[5]

Stigmatogaster souletina and Stigmatogaster subterraneus have been moved to the genus Haplophilus, but the change is not universally accepted; many sources still classify them in the genus Stigmatogaster.[6]
