Dignathodontidae is a monophyletic clade of soil centipedes in the family Geophilidae[1] found in the Mediterranean region, extending to Macaronesia, Caucasus, and western and central Europe. The clade is characterized by a gradually anteriorly tapered body; a short head with non-attenuated antennae; and a poorly sclerotized labrum with tubercles.[2] The number of legs in this clade varies within species and ranges from 43 to 153 pairs of legs.[2]
