The type specimens are deposited in the Instituto Butantan in São Paulo, Brazil.

[3] This centipede is the first species of the genus Aphilodon found in the state of Bahia in Brazil.

This wide geographic distribution includes not only the Atlantic Forest but also the Caatinga biome and transition areas.

When preserved in alcohol, the body is yellowish, with the head and forcipular segment a reddish brown.

This cephalic plate features scattered short setae but lacks a visible transverse suture.

The sclerite in front of the forcipular tergite is exposed rather than covered by the cephalic plate.

Moreover, the terminal spine at the end of each ultimate leg is small in A. foraminis but well developed in A. bahianus.
