Name
Himantariidae Bollman 1893

Himantariidae is a monophyletic family of centipedes in the order Geophilomorpha and superfamily Himantarioidea,[1] found almost exclusively in the Northern Hemisphere.[2] The number of leg-bearing segments in this family ranges from 47 to 181.[3] These centipedes are very elongated with a high mean number of trunk segments (often greater than 100) and great variability in this number within species.[4] This family contains these genera:

Acrophilus
Bothriogaster
Californiphilus
Causerium
Chomatobius
Diadenoschisma
Geoballus
Gosiphilus
Gosothrix
Haplophilus
Himantariella
Himantarium
Meinertophilus
Mesocanthus
Nesoporogaster
Nothobius
Notiphilus
Notobius
Polyporogaster
Pseudohimantarium
Stigmatogaster
Straberax
Thracophilus
