Want to add family Linotaeniidae

I have pictures of a centipede in the genus Strigamia, and the family ( and order too?) needs to be added, please:

Order Geophilomorpha

Family Linotaeniidae

Genus Strigamia

species unk.

Thanks,
Mike

Mike, in order to add a new family/order, I have to create an entry for one member of the family. Do you know the species of your centipede. I would prefer to create the exact species rather than have an entry for Strigamia sp.,

Ken

No, I doubt it can be identified beyond the genus, except maybe by a specialist looking at a specimen. I can't find much on line about them at all.

That is OK Mike, I have now added the new Order and Family by creating an entry for your Centipede here: http://davesgarden.com/guides/bf/go/5365/

Let me know when you have added your images and I will select one to ilustrate the Order and Family in the index,

Ken

Thanks Ken, I've added the pictures. - I see the order Geophilomorpha called "Soil Centipedes" in some places, but I don't know of any common names for these centipedes.

Please feel free to remove whichever pics you want to, if there are too many. I'll look for these centipedes some more and see if I can get a better close-up, but they're fast.

Thanks Mike, I have added one of your images into the index for both Order and Family and thanks also for the Common Name. I have labelled Order, Family and species as Soil Centipedes
