Tygarrup

Tygarrup is a genus of centipedes in the family Mecistocephalidae, found mainly in southeast Asia and from the Seychelles to Hawaii. Although species in this genus can have either 43 or 45 leg-bearing segments, most of these species (e.g., Tygarrup anepipe, T. daliensis, T. diversidens, T. griseoviridis, T. javanicus, T. malabrus, T. muminabadicus, T. nepalensis, T. poriger, T. singaporiensis, and T. takarazimensis   ) have 45 leg pairs. An undescribed Tygarrup species found in the Andaman Islands has 43 leg pairs. Centipedes in this genus are sometimes melanised in patches, and sternal glands are present the males of most species. These centipedes range from 2 cm to 6 cm in length. Tygarrup javanicus is one of the smallest of the mecistocephalid species (only 20 mm long) and has become an invasive in greenhouses in Europe.
