Ethmostigmus Trigonopodus
''Ethmostigmus trigonopodus'' is a species of centipede in the family Scolopendridae. It goes by a number of common names, including the African Giant Centipede and the Tanzanian Blue Ring Centipede. ''Ethmostigmus trigonopodus'' from northern parts of Nigeria can reach sexual maturity within one year, which is uncommon in 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 ...s.

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 environments. T ...

Scolopendridae
Scolopendridae (or, in older documents, Scolopendridæ) is a family of large centipedes ( class Chilopoda). 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.
