Allothereua

Allothereua is a genus of scutigeromorph centipedes containing 9 species ranging from Central Asia (Kazakhstan and Nepal) to the Philippines to Australia, where at least six species are found.[1] A 2009 study of scutigeromorph phylogeny found Allothereua to be polyphyletic; some species were more closely related to Parascutigera.[2]

gollark: I'm not actually sure what I did, because it seems to be fine at placing down things in a line still but also is entirely blind to *me* doing that.
gollark: Also, it's worse.
gollark: It can. My attempt at a better one takes *seconds* per move.
