Schendyla is a genus of centipedes in the family Schendylidae. It was described by Danish entomologists Vilhelm Bergsøe and Frederik Vilhelm August Meinert in 1866.[1][2] Centipedes in this genus range from about 1 cm to about 4 cm in length and have from 31 to 57 pairs of legs.[3] The species Schendyla verneri is notable for its small size (9 mm to 10 mm in length) and for having only 31 leg pairs, the minimum found in this genus.[4] Other small species with notably few legs in this genus include S. walachica (14 mm in length, with as few as 33 leg pairs in males and 35 in females)[5] and S. dalmatica (10 mm in length, with 37 leg pairs in males and 39 in females).[5] Males of the species S. monoeci measure 17.5 mm in length and can have from 51 to as many as 57 leg pairs, the maximum number found in this genus.[5] Descriptions of the species S. vizzavonae report no more than 51 leg pairs, but this species is notable for its relatively large size, reaching 45 mm in length.[5]
