Cryptops parisi is a species of centipede in the family Cryptopidae.

[3] It is identified by the closely spaced (often fused) teeth on the tibial and tarsal combs of the last legs.

It lives under stones, logs and leaf litter.

[4] It is found in Great Britain, Ireland, central Europe and Canada.

[5][6][7][8] A 2020 study examining the development of the cephalic capsule and coxopleuron identified ten late post-embryonic stages in C. parisi's life cycle: three pre-adult stages (adolescens I, II, and III) and seven adult stages (one maturus junior stage, four maturus, and two maturus senior stages).
