Eurypauropodidae is a family of pauropods in the order Tetramerocerata. Pauropods in this family are found on all continents except South America and Antarctica. This family includes more than 70 species distributed among four genera.
== Discovery == This family was first described by the American zoologist John A. Ryder in 1879. He proposed this new family to contain the species Eurypauropus spinosus, which he discovered and described earlier in 1879. He found this species so different from all known pauropods as to warrant placement in a separate family. He based the original description of this species on five specimens he found under decaying wood in East Fairmount Park in Philadelphia, and he described this family after finding five more specimens in West Fairmount Park, across the Schuylkill River and about a mile from the site of the first discovery.
