Craterostigmus is a genus of centipedes belonging to the Craterostigmidae family. The species are found in Australasia. Craterostigmus species, especially C. tasmanianus, are an evolutionarily important group of centipedes known for their unique genetic, sensory, and ecological adaptations. Their distinct phylogenetic position highlights their independent evolutionary history within myriapods, underscoring their significance in studies of centipede evolution and the biodiversity of Tasmania. They have elliptical, bipartite eye, which is located fronto-laterally on either side of their head and
