Geophilus pusillus

Geophilus pusillus is a species of soil centipede in the family Geophilidae found in Algeria.

[1] It grows up to 11 millimeters in length.

[2] The original description of this species is based on ten specimens: five male specimens from Algeria with 31 pairs of legs, and five specimens from Germany (four males with 33 leg pairs and one female with 35 leg pairs).

[3][4] Records from the Alpstein mountains indicate that G. pusillus is a soil-dwelling species (burrowing as deep as 30 cm) that prefers humus-rich soil,[5] but these records deserve confirmation.
