Ribautia

Ribautia is a genus of centipedes in the family Geophilidae. This genus was described by French myriapodologist Henry Wilfred Brolemann in 1909. Centipedes in this genus are found in South America, tropical Africa, Madagascar, the Arabian peninsula, Australia, New Zealand, and Melanesia.

==Description== Centipedes in this genus feature elongate heads, elongate forcipules, and mandibles with long bristles. The second maxillae are connected by only a narrow bridge in the middle of the coxosternite. This coxosternite features processes projecting from the inner corners of the anterior margins and prominent sclerotized ridges. The forcipular sternite features a pair of narrow sclerotized stripes (chitin lines). Pores arranged in a single field appear on sternites on at least the anterior segments of the trunk.
