Geophilus arenarius is a species of centipede in the family Geophilidae found in northwest Africa[1], specifically near Annaba, Algeria. It is frequently misidentified with G. electricus[2], and as part of the carpophagus species-complex it is closely related to both G. carpophagus and G. easoni, though it differs mainly by lacking a transverse suture on the head and peculiar integumental features (carpophagus-structures) along the trunk, as well as having relatively stouter antennae and forcipular coxosternite. G. arenarius is distinctly smaller at full growth than G. carpophagus, with usually blunter and more sclerotised tubercles lining the intermediate part of the labrum and a minute denticle at the base of the forcipular tarsungula. It has fewer bristles lining the lateral parts of the labrum than G. easoni as well as a generally higher number of legs and a more greyish-coloured trunk.[3]
