G. electricus Linné, 1758

Geophilus electricus was the first species described in the genus Geophilus, and is considered by some to be a type species (along with Geophilius carpophagus).[1] It's found in gardens and churchyards across temperate Europe, especially Britain and Ireland. It's yellowish-orange in color and can grow up to 40 millimeters, with between 65-73 leg pairs (more than other similar Geophilus species), a distinct carpophagus fossae on the anterior sternites, and a distinctive arrangement of the coxal pores of the last leg pair.[2]
