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, preying on insects and arachnids by envenomating them (but not dangerous to humans). 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 Latin and , 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 encountered. Up t ...

Allothereua Maculata
''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''.
