Geophilomorpha Pocock 1895
Authors/Creators
Description
Referred material. 1 specimen: MACH.20: adult of undetermined sex, incomplete specimen.
Locality. MACH.20: Mexico, Chiapas, Simojovel, La Pimienta site, 17°08ʹ29ʺ N, 092°45ʹ46ʺ W.
Identification. MACH.20 without head or terminal segments, body with more than 40 pairs of legs; fossil specimen match Geophilomorpha but this shows poor preservation that makes a more detailed description difficult.
Referred material. 1 specimen: G.2005.147.1.1, as seen in Ross et al. (2016: 46, fig. 2).
Locality. Mexico, Chiapas? Simojovel area? The origin of this material is unproven; there are no data about the exact locality or strata provided by Ross et al. (2016).
Remarks. Specimen undetermined; micrograph published in Ross et al. (2016). Accordingly, the specimens resemble Geophilomorpha. Ross et al. (2016) also referred to another geophilomorph specimen, which they identified as G.2007.67.10.1 (Ross and Sheridan 2013: 55, fig. 9), but this is the same specimen G.2005.147.1.1 (even the same photo) as presented in Ross et al. (2016: 46, fig. 2).
