# Scolopendridae

Gli Scolopendridi (Scolopendridae Newport, 1844) sono una famiglia di chilopodi dell'ordine degli Scolopendromorpha.
Presentano un corpo segmentato in numerosi parti e dotato di più di venti paia di sottili arti e antenne. L'accesa colorazione di questi animali notturni rispecchia la loro natura velenosa, invero per mezzo degli artigli stordiscono e uccidono le loro prede.

## Tassonomia

La famiglia Scolopendridae comprende 416 specie suddivise in 20 generi e 3 sottofamiglie.
