Geophilus angustatus is a species of soil centipede in the family Geophilidae[1] found on the Aleutian Islands.[2] It's dark red, with 41–43 leg pairs; the antennae are cylindrical and about twice as long as the feet. Like other geophilomorphs, the antennae are 14-segmented. Its name comes from Latin 'angustatum', meaning 'narrowed', referring to its anteriorly narrowed body.[3]
