Guide for the identification centipedes families (Myriapoda: Chilopoda) from Mexico: An update

Abstract

The key for the identification of the families of centipedes from Mexico was published in 2011. In 2014, taxonomic modifications were made at family level in order Geophilomorpha. The key for centipedes’ families from Mexico is updated in this paper based in these recent taxonomic reinterpretations. Also, a change in family level in order Scolopendromorpha was made.
