Pachymerium tabacarui is a species of centipede in Geophilidae family that is endemic to Romania.[1] The original description of this species is based on a female specimen from the Carpathians measuring 15 mm in length with 53 pairs of legs.[2][3] Authorities now consider this description consistent with a juvenile specimen of P. ferrugineum and therefore deem P. tabacarui to be a junior synonym of that species.[4][3] Extensive investigations in the Carpathian region have failed to collect any more specimens.[3]
