The African species of the genus Schendylurus silvestri, 1907 (Chilopoda Geophilomorpha Schendylldae)

The genus Schendylurus has a wide distribution in the Neotropical Region, with about 40 species known to date. The genus is also present, but less widespread, in Africa, with 6 species, all insufficiently described by previous authors. The different species inhabit a variety of biotopes, including...
