Dignathodontidae
Scientific classification e
Domain: Eukaryota
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Arthropoda
Subphylum: Myriapoda
Class: Chilopoda
Order: Geophilomorpha
Family: Dignathodontidae
Cook, 1896

Dignathodontidae is a monophyletic clade of soil centipedes in the family Geophilidae[1] found in the Mediterranean region, extending to Macaronesia, Caucasus, and western and central Europe. The clade is characterized by a gradually anteriorly tapered body; a short head with non-attenuated antennae; and a poorly sclerotized labrum with tubercles.[2] The number of legs in this clade varies within as well as among species and ranges from 43 pairs (in Henia brevis[3]) to 153 pairs of legs (in Henia devia[4]).[2] Species in this clade tend to have more leg-bearing segments and greater intraspecific variability in this number than generally found in the family Geophilidae.[5]
