Geophilus easoni

Geophilus easoni is a species of soil centipede in the family Geophilidae.^[2][3] It is found throughout Britain and Ireland,^[3] and through western France to at least to the foothills of the Pyrenees^[4] and to Galicia and northern Portugal.^[5] It was distinguished from G. carpophagus only in 2001, and most pre-2001 records from the British Isles probably refer to G. easoni.^[3] It's typically shorter than G. carpophagus (up to 40 mm), with fewer leg pairs (between 47 and 51), uniform tan/chestnut coloring, and a greater size and number of coxal pores, as well as a darkly pigmented mid-piece of the labrum which bears blunt teeth.^[1] Specimens in north-western Iberia typically have a wider range of leg pairs (between 47 and 55) and are larger (up to 55 mm).^[5] It nests on the ground surface under stones and dead wood.^[6]
