Dendrothereua
''Dendrothereua'' is a genus of house centipedes in the family Scutigeridae. There are at least three described species in ''Dendrothereua'', found in the southern United States and the Neotropics. ''Dendrothereua'' was formerly considered a taxonomic synonym of ''Scutigera''. In 2009, Edgecomb and Giribet resurrected the genus based on Phylogenetic research. The species of ''Dendrothereua'' are still sometimes considered part of ''Scutigera''. Species These three species belong to the genus ''Dendrothereua'': * '' Dendrothereua homa'' (Chamberlin, 1942) (Arizona house centipede) * '' Dendrothereua linceci'' (Wood, 1867) * '' Dendrothereua nubila'' (Chamberlin, 1921) i Data sources: i = ITIS, c = Catalogue of Life, g = GBIF, b = Bugguide.net References Further reading * * * * * * * * External links * Scutigeromorpha {{myriapoda-stub ...

Scutigera Coleoptrata
''Scutigera coleoptrata'', also known as the house centipede, is a species of centipede that is typically yellowish-grey and has up to 15 pairs of long legs. Originating in the Mediterranean region, it has spread to other parts of the world, where it can live in human homes. It is an insectivore; it kills and eats other arthropods, such as insects and arachnids. Etymology In 1758, Carl Linnaeus described the species in the tenth edition of his Systema Naturae, giving the name ''Scolopendra coleoptrata'', writing that it has a "coleopterated thorax" (similar to a coleopter). In 1801, Jean-Baptiste Lamarck separated ''scutigera'' from ''scolopendra'', calling this species ''Scutigera coleoptrata.'' The word ''scutigera'' comes from "to bear" (''gerere)'' and "shield" (''scutum),'' because of the shape of the plates in the back of the chilopod. Morphology The body of an adult ''Scutigera coleoptrata'' is typically in length, although larger specimens are sometimes encounter ...

Centipede
Centipedes (from New Latin , "hundred", and Latin , " foot") are predatory arthropods belonging to the class Chilopoda (Ancient Greek , ''kheilos'', lip, and New Latin suffix , "foot", describing the forcipules) of the subphylum Myriapoda, an arthropod group which includes millipedes and other multi-legged animals. Centipedes are elongated segmented ( metameric) creatures with one pair of legs per body segment. All centipedes are venomous and can inflict painful bites, injecting their venom through pincer-like appendages known as forcipules. Despite the name, centipedes can have a varying number of legs, ranging from 30 to 382. Centipedes always have an odd number of pairs of legs; no centipede has exactly 100. Like spiders and scorpions, centipedes are predominantly carnivorous. Their size ranges from a few millimetres in the smaller lithobiomorphs and geophilomorphs to about in the largest scolopendromorphs. Centipedes can be found in a wide variety of environmen ...

Allothereua Maculata
''Allothereua maculata'' is a species of centipedes found in Australia known as the house centipede – a name applied elsewhere to other species. Description The body of ''Allothereua maculata'' is made up of 15 segments and bears 15 pairs of long legs. The body is pale brown with dark markings, and grows to long. It bears one pair of antennae on the head and a similarly long pair of caudal appendages at the tail end. These organisms have a lot of small hairs and spindle-like bodies so scientists Haase and Heathcote believed that these features can behave as an organ but later discovered that it is not true, they have other functions. There was only limited research done but they understand that it was probably created to help with adaption. Distribution ''Allothereua maculata'' is the most common scutigeromorph centipede across southern Australia, occurring from Western Australia to Queensland. Ecology ''Allothereua maculata'' lives in urban areas and woodland. Its oc ...

Allothereua
''Allothereua'' is a genus of scutigeromorph centipedes containing 9 species ranging from Central Asia (Kazakhstan and Nepal) to the Philippines to Australia, where at least six species are found. A 2009 study of scutigeromorph phylogeny found ''Allothereua'' to be polyphyletic; some species were more closely related to '' Parascutigera''.

Early Cretaceous
The Early Cretaceous (geochronology, geochronological name) or the Lower Cretaceous (chronostratigraphy, chronostratigraphic name), is the earlier or lower of the two major divisions of the Cretaceous. It is usually considered to stretch from 145 Megaannum#SI prefix multipliers, Ma to 100.5 Ma. Geology Proposals for the exact age of the Barremian-Aptian boundary ranged from 126 to 117 Ma until recently (as of 2019), but based on drillholes in Svalbard the defining Anoxic event#Cretaceous, early Aptian Oceanic Anoxic Event 1a (OAE1a) was carbon isotope dated to 123.1±0.3 Ma, limiting the possible range for the boundary to c. 122–121 Ma. There is a possible link between this anoxic event and a series of Early Cretaceous large igneous provinces (LIP). The Ontong Java Plateau, Ontong Java-Manihiki Plateau, Manihiki-Hikurangi Plateau, Hikurangi large igneous province, emplaced in the South Pacific at c. 120 Ma, is by far the largest LIP in Earth's history.
