Alipes grandidieri, most commonly known as the feather-tail centipede, is a species of centipede.[1] It is a member of the genus Alipes and the family Scolopendridae.[1] It was first described from Zanzibar, as Eucorybas Grandidieri [sic] by Hippolyte Lucas in 1864.[2]

The species range is in eastern Africa, in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda.[1]

It has distinctive, elongated ultimate legs with laterally-flattened pads on the distal portions, resembling feathers. When threatened they will shake these legs and make a hissing sound.[3] The body is 10–15 cm long.[3]
