Asanada
''Asanada'' is a genus of centipedes in the subfamily Scolopendrinae. It has thirteen known species, which usually grow between in length. It can be distinguished from the genus ''Cormocephalus'' (= ''Cupipes'') by having smooth (as opposed to punctured) anal pleurae, but is otherwise quite similar in appearance. The type species of the genus is ''A. brevicornis'' (by Monotypic taxon, monotypy), the type specimen of which was collected in Kullu, Kulu, India.

Scolopendrinae
Scolopendridae (or, in older documents, Scolopendridæ), from Ancient Greek σκόλοψ (''skólops''), meaning "thorn", and ἔντερον (''énteron''), meaning "earthworm", is a family of large centipedes (class Chilopoda). Description Nearly all species in this family have four ocelli ( simple eyes) on each side of the head and only 21 pairs of legs, but there are exceptions: two scolopendrid species feature more legs (''Scolopendropsis bahiensis'', with 21 or 23 leg pairs, and ''S. duplicata'', with 39 or 43 leg pairs), and some scolopendrid species are eyeless and blind (e.g., ''Cormocephalus sagmus'', ''C. pyropygus'', and ''C. delta''). Three Asian members of this family, ''Scolopendra cataracta'', ''Scolopendra paradoxa'', and ''Scolopendra alcyona,'' are known to show amphibious behaviour. Two other species, ''Scolopendra hardwickei'' and ''Hemiscolopendra marginata,'' are known to show sexual dimorphism in the composition of their venom. Genera Subfamily Otostigmi ...
