Scutigerellidae is a family of pseudocentipedes in the class Symphyla. There are about 5 genera and at least 140 described species in Scutigerellidae.[1][2]

In this family, the head is distinctly separated from the neck, the antennae usually have more than 20 articles, there are 15 simple tergites, and the first pair of legs is well developed and more than half the length of the next pair.[3] The oldest described species of the family are members of the extant genera Hanseniella and Scutigerella from Eocene aged Baltic amber,[4] undescribed specimens of the family are known from the Cenomanian aged Burmese amber of Myanmar.[5]
