Pachymerium

Pachymerium is a genus of soil centipedes in the family Geophilidae. This genus contains more than 20 species. These centipedes are found mainly in the west Palearctic region and in south Africa.

== Description == Centipedes in this genus feature an elongated head with an intermediate part of the labrum separating the side pieces. Each of the second maxillae ends in a claw. The forcipular tergite is distinctly narrower than the following tergite. The posterior part of the forcipular coxosternite is broad. The first article of the forcipule is elongated and features a distal denticle, and the ultimate article features a prominent basal denticle. Fields of pores appear on at least the anterior sternites, with pores in a pair of anterior groups and a posterior transverse band. The sternite of the last leg-bearing segment is either about as long as wide or longer. The basal element of each of the ultimate legs features scattered pores, and each of these legs ends in a claw.
