Strigamia

Strigamia is a genus of soil centipedes in the family Linotaeniidae. Members of this family can be identified by their anteriorly tapering bodies, the extra claw on the forcipules (venom-injecting fangs),[4] scattered coxal pores, and the distinctly swollen ultimate legs of the males.[5] There are at least 50 described species in Strigamia.[6][7][8][9][10] Centipedes in this genus can reach 15 cm in length (in S. epileptica) and can have as few as 31 pairs of legs (in S. hoffmani) or as many as 83 leg pairs (in S. epileptica).[11] The species S. hoffmani is notable for its small size (no more than 16 mm long) as well as for having relatively few legs (31 to 35 pairs in males, 35 or 37 in females).[12][11]
