Geophilus erzurumensis explained

Geophilus erzurumensis is a species of soil centipede in the family Geophilidae found only in Erzurum, Turkey, which it is named after.[1]

Taxonomy

G. erzurumensis was originally placed in the genus Brachygeophilus based on its lack of sternal pores.[2] It may be a synonym of Pachymerium ferrugineum, along with Geophilus orientis, G. eudontus, and G. elazigus.[3]
