Gonibregmatidae

Gonibregmatidae are a paraphyletic (with respect to Neogeophilidae and Eriphantidae) family of soil centipedes belonging to the superfamily Geophiloidea.[1][2] The number of leg-bearing segments in this family varies within species and ranges from 57 to 191.[3] This family includes the species Gonibregmatus plurimipes, which can have as many as 191 leg pairs, the maximum number found in the class Chilopoda.[4]
