Strigamia

Strigamia is a genus of soil centipedes in the family Linotaeniidae found in temperate parts of the Holarctic region.[4] Members of this family can be identified by their anteriorly tapering bodies, the extra claw on the forcipules (venom-injecting fangs),[5] scattered coxal pores, and the distinctly swollen ultimate legs of the males.[6] The generic name is from Latin striga, "strip," referring to its strip of bristles.[7]

Centipedes in this genus can reach 15 cm in length (in the North American species S. epileptica) and can have as few as 31 pairs of legs (in the North American species S. hoffmani, with 31 to 35 pairs in males, 35 or 37 in females) or as many as 83 leg pairs (in S. epileptica, with 65 to 69 pairs in males, 71 to 83 in females).[8] The species S. hoffmani is notable for its small size (no more than 16 mm long) as well as for a small number of legs.[9][8] Other species with notably few legs include the Siberian species S. sibirica (33 pairs in males, 33 or 35 in females) and the Romanian species S. lutea (35 pairs in males, 37 in females).[10][8]
