Schendyla Armata
''Schendyla'' is a genus of soil centipedes in the family Schendylidae. These centipedes are found in the west Palearctic region. This genus was described by Danish entomologists Vilhelm Bergsøe and Frederik Vilhelm August Meinert in 1866. This genus now includes more than 20 species. Description Centipedes in this genus feature only a few spines on the claws of the second maxillae, two pores on each coxopleuron, and ultimate legs without claws or with only rudimentary claws. These centipedes range from about 1 cm to about 4 cm in length and have from 29 to 57 pairs of legs. The species '' Schendyla antici'' is notable for its small size (5 mm to 8 mm in length) and for having as few as 29 leg pairs (29 pairs in males and 31 in females), the minimum recorded in this genus. Other small species with notably few legs in this genus include '' S. verneri'' (reaching only 10 mm in length, with 31 pairs), '' S. walachica'' (15 mm in length, with as few as 33 pair ...
