Geophilus aztecus is a species of soil centipede in the family Geophilidae found in Mexico [1] and Guatemala. [2] The original description of this species is based on a dark red specimen measuring 44 mm in length with antennae moniliform at the apex. [3] This species can reach 52 mm in length and has 57 or 59 pairs of legs. [4]
As Geophilus is a holarctic genus, G. aztecus has almost certainly been misidentified, but as of now has not been correctly reassigned. [5]
