Schendyla is a genus of soil centipedes in the family Schendylidae.[2] These centipedes are found in the west Palearctic region.[3] This genus was described by Danish entomologists Vilhelm Bergsøe and Frederik Vilhelm August Meinert in 1866.[1][2] This genus now includes more than 20 species.[4]
Description
[edit]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.[3][5] These centipedes range from about 1 cm to about 4 cm in length and have from 29 to 57 pairs of legs.[3][5] 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.[5] Other small species with notably few legs in this genus include S. verneri (reaching only 10 mm in length, with 31 pairs),[6] S. walachica (15 mm in length, with as few as 33 pairs in each sex),[5] S. dalmatica (10 mm in length, with 37 pairs in males and 39 in females), S. dentata (12 mm in length, with 39 pairs in females),[7] S. gracillima (10 mm in length, with as few as 35 leg pairs).[8] and S. armata (11 mm in length, with as few as 33 leg pairs).[9][10] The species S. monoeci measures only 17.5 mm in length but can have from 51 to as many as 57 leg pairs, the maximum number found in this genus.[7] Descriptions of the species S. vizzavonae report no more than 51 leg pairs, but this species is notable for its relatively large size, reaching 45 mm in length.[7]
