Systematics and Biogeography of Ctenophilus Cook, 1898 : A Genus of Centipedes with Disjunct Distribution (Geophilomorpha, Schendylidae)

Among all known genera of Schendylidae Ctenophilus Cook, 1898 is the only one characterized by having the pleurites of the second maxillae fused with the posterior border of the coxosternum (apomorphic state of the character). In all the remaining genera of the family the pleurites are not fused (pl...
