Dicellophilus carniolensis is a species of soil centipede in the family Mecistocephalidae.[1] This centipede is well known and found in central Europe.[2] This species features 43 pairs of legs, a number rarely found in the family Mecistocephalidae and recorded in only one other genus in this family:[2][3] In the genus Tygarrup, an undescribed species found in the Andaman Islands also has 43 leg pairs.[4][5]
