Allothereua is a genus of scutigeromorph centipedes containing 9 species ranging from Central Asia (Kazakhstan and Nepal) to the Philippines to Australia, where at least six species are found.[1] A 2009 study of scutigeromorph phylogeny found Allothereua to be polyphyletic; some species were more closely related to Parascutigera.[2]
