Geophilus pusillus is a species of soil centipede in the family Geophilidae found in Algeria.[1] It grows up to 11 millimeters in length.[2] The original description of this species is based on ten specimens: five male specimens from Algeria with 31 pairs of legs, and five specimens from Germany (four males with 33 leg pairs and one female with 35 leg pairs).[3][4] Records from the Alpstein mountains indicate that G. pusillus is a soil-dwelling species (burrowing as deep as 30 cm) that prefers humus-rich soil,[5] but these records deserve confirmation.[1] Some authorities consider the specimens recorded from Europe to be specimens of G. ribauti that have been misidentified as specimens of the Algerian species G. pusillus.[4]
