Geophilus claremontus is a species of soil centipede in the family Geophilidae found in Claremont, California, after which it was named.[1] It was incorrectly placed in the genus Brachygeophilus in 1929 by Attems,[2] most likely based on the lack of sternal pores.[3][4]
Description
The species grows up to 40 mm in length and has 65 leg pairs, the first of which is short and slender, the last of which bears a single claw each. The cephalic plate bears a frontal furrow as well as two longitudinal furrows diverging from the posterior edge. The pleural pores are ventral, about fifteen on each side; the most posterior pore is somewhat isolated and the inner row is covered by the final sternite. In addition, G. claremontus also possesses an anterior sternum with a median furrow and shallowly notched anterior edge. It was described as being apparently closely related to G. legiferens (now G. varians).[4]
