Arctogeophilus is a genus of soil centipedes in the family Geophildae.[1] These centipedes are found in temperate and subarctic regions of Asia, North America, and western Europe.[2] The taxon Arctogeophilus was first proposed in 1909 by the Austrian myriapodologist Carl Attems as a subgenus within the genus Geophilus.[3] The French zoologist Henri Ribaut elevated Arctogeophilus to the rank of genus in 1910.[4]
Description
Centipedes in this genus range from 2 cm to 5 cm in length and have 35 to 69 pairs of legs.[2] The Russian species Arctogeophilus macrocephalus can have as few as 35 leg pairs,[5] the minimum number recorded in this genus.[2] The American species Arctogeophilus atopus can have as many as 69 leg pairs,[6] the maximum number recorded in this genus.[2]
