See text Brahmaputrus Verhoeff, 1942 Tygarrup is a genus of centipedes in the family Mecistocephalidae, found mainly in southeast Asia and from the Seychelles to Hawaii.

[1] Although species in this genus can have either 43 or 45 leg-bearing segments,[2][3] most of these species (e.g., Tygarrup anepipe, T. daliensis, T. diversidens, T. griseoviridis, T. javanicus, T. malabrus, T. muminabadicus, T. nepalensis, T. poriger, T. singaporiensis, and T. takarazimensis[4][5][6][7][8]) have 45 leg pairs.

[1][9] An undescribed Tygarrup species found in the Andaman Islands has 43 leg pairs.

[1][4] Centipedes in this genus are sometimes melanised in patches, and sternal glands are present the males of most species.

[1] Tygarrup javanicus is one of the smallest of the mecistocephalid species (only 20 mm long) and has become an invasive in greenhouses in Europe.
