Sepedonophilus hodites

Sepedonophilus hodites is a species of centipede in the Geophilidae family.

It is endemic to Australia, and was first described in 1940 by American biologist Ralph Vary Chamberlin.

[1][2] The original description of this species is based on a male specimen measuring 18 mm in length with 49 pairs of legs.

It has also been recorded in Hawaii as an adventive species, though is probably not established there.

[3][2] The centipedes are solitary terrestrial predators that inhabit plant litter, soil and rotting wood.
