Portoricona

Portoricona is a genus of soil centipedes in the family Geophilidae. This genus includes only three species. These centipedes are found in Puerto Rico and Martinique.

== Discovery and distribution == This genus was first proposed in 1950 by the American biologist Ralph V. Chamberlin to contain two new species that he described simultaneously. He described P. adjunta based on three specimens (two females and one male) collected in 1947 in the town of Adjuntas in Puerto Rico. He described P. socia based on five specimens, including two adults, collected from the Guánica State Forest in Puerto Rico. He explicitly designated P. adjunta as the type species for the new genus. Syntypes including both sexes of P. socia that were collected in 1948, as well as a female syntype of P. adjunta, are deposited in the National Museum of Natural History of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.
