[3] This species is notable for featuring 191 pairs of legs,[1][4] which is the maximum number found in any centipede.

The antennae are broad and flattened at the base, gradually narrowing to the middle, then almost uniform and cylindrical beyond that point.

[1] The head lacks a distinct transverse suture, and the middle part of the labrum has a convex margin.

The anterior and posterior tergites of the last leg-bearing segment are almost completely fused, but are separated by a shallow furrow.

[1][7] This centipede exhibits traits shared with other species in the genus Gonibregmatus.
