On the taxonomic status of Thindyla Chamberlin, 1955, a genus of Peruvian centipeds with remarkable sternal modification (Geophilomorpha: Schendylidae)
Thindyla, a monotypic genus based upon T. pacifiaJ Chamberlin, 1955, from the coast of Peru, is removed from synonymy under the polyphyletic genus Pectiniunguis on the basis of a deep, large, cylindrical cavity in the sterna of several anterior body segments, not approximated in any other known geop...
