Linotaeniidae

Linotaeniidae are a monophyletic family of soil centipedes in the superfamily Geophiloidea,[1] widely considered syonymous with Geophilidae.[2] There are about 6 genera and at least 40 described species in Linotaeniidae.[3][4][5][6][7] Compared to most other families in the suborder Adesmata, this family features a modest number of leg-bearing segments and limited variation in this number within each species.[8]
