Eogeophilus ("dawn earth lover") is an extinct genus of geophilid centipede that was discovered in the Nusplingen Limestone of Germany.[1] It is a monotypic genus, with only type species Eogeophilus jurassicus known.[1][2]

Etymology

The genus was named for its close relationship and similarities to the extant Geophilus.[1] The specific epithet is derived from the Jurassic, which in turn is named after the Jura Mountain Range.[1]
