Geophilus smithi
# Geophilus smithi

Geophilus smithi is a species of soil centipede in the family Geophilidae found in Washington, D.C. It grows up to 28 millimeters in length, has 49 leg pairs (in female specimens), 25-30 coxal pores, and coxae of prehensorial legs of about equal length and width.

## Taxonomy

In its original description, G. smithi was compared to G. huronicus (now Arenophilus bipuncticeps). G. smithi was possibly based upon specimens of G. ampyx and may even be a senior synonym, though this is not confirmed.
