Scutigerella hauserae is a species of symphylan myriapod found in Slovenia.[a][1] It was described by Ulf Scheller, a Swedish entemologist, in 1990.[2] It is known from Postojnska Jama, a cave system in Slovenia.[2][3] It has several physical adaptations which may make it more suited for trogloniontic (cave) life.[2]
