Geophilus aztecus is a species of soil centipede in the family Geophilidae found in Mexico[1] and Guatemala.[2] It's dark red and 44 millimeters long, with antennae moniliform at the apex.[3]
Taxonomy[]
As Geophilus is a holarctic genus, G. aztecus has almost certainly been misidentified, but as of now has not been correctly reassigned.[4]
