[2][6] Arthrorhabdus species bear several morphological similarities to those of the genus Cormocephalus: their spiracles,[7] eyes, and mouthparts are the same.

[1] It also resembles members of the genera Scolopendra and Asanada, but can be differentiated from other genera by a variety of characteristics, specifically the head not overlapping the first tergite,[6][1] additionally from Scolopendra by the shape of the mouthparts and spiracles,[6] and further from Cormocephalus by morphological features on the legs.

[1] Arthrorhabdus species have between 18 and 26 antennomeres (antennae segments).
