Stigmatogaster is a genus of centipedes in the family Himantariidae.
Centipedes in this genus feature a relatively slender trunk, transversally slightly elongate sternal pore-fields on almost all trunk segments, and unusual lateral furrows on some trunk metasternites; most coxal organs open into a dorsal pouch covered by the metatergite.
These centipedes range from 5 cm to 10 cm in length, have 83 to 111 pairs of legs, and are found in the Mediterranean region.
[1] This genus contains the following species:[2][3][4] Stigmatogaster souletina and Stigmatogaster subterraneus have been moved to the genus Haplophilus, but the change is not universally accepted; many sources still classify them in the genus Stigmatogaster.
