Dendrothereua
Dendrothereua is a genus of house centipedes in the family Scutigeridae. There are at least three described species in Dendrothereua, found in the southern United States and the Neotropics.[1][2][3]

Dendrothereua was formerly considered a taxonomic synonym of Scutigera. In 2009, Edgecomb and Giribet[4] resurrected the genus based on Phylogenetic research. The species of Dendrothereua are still sometimes considered part of Scutigera.
Species
These three species belong to the genus Dendrothereua:
- Dendrothereua homa (Chamberlin, 1942) i b (Arizona house centipede)
- Dendrothereua linceci (Wood, 1867) i
- Dendrothereua nubila (Chamberlin, 1921) i

gollark: Ah yes, Kolmogorov complexity.
gollark: Also, human brains have weird color processing quirks because instead of answering the question "what mixture of light is entering this part of the visual field" they're solving the harder but more useful one of what color an object is and what light sources are present and that sort of thing.
gollark: The color of the thing as seen by a camera (or your eyes) depends on lighting conditions and what's near it and configuration and such.
gollark: Yes. The "RGB value" of a surface doesn't really... exist, see.
gollark: You're welcome. Our serotonin injector nanobots really are great and so ethical.
