Gonibregmatidae are a paraphyletic (with respect to Neogeophilidae and Eriphantidae) family of soil centipedes belonging to the superfamily Geophiloidea.[1][2]
Description
The number of leg-bearing segments in this family varies within as well as among species and ranges from 57 to 191.[3] 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.[4] The minimum number of legs recorded in this family (57 pairs) appears in the species Himantosoma bidivisum.[5] This family includes the species Gonibregmatus plurimipes, which can have as many as 191 leg pairs, the maximum number recorded in the class Chilopoda.[6]
Distribution
Centipedes in this family are found in Madagascar , India , southeast Asia, and Australasia, and on islands in the Pacific Ocean.
