Tygarrup is a genus of centipedes in the family Mecistocephalidae, found mainly in southeast Asia and from the Seychelles to Hawaii.[1] Although species in this genus can have either 43 or 45 leg-bearing segments,[2][3] most of these species (e.g., Tygarrup anepipe, T. daliensis, T. diversidens, T. griseoviridis, T. javanicus, T. malabrus, T. muminabadicus, T. nepalensis, T. poriger, T. singaporiensis, and T. takarazimensis[4][5][6][7][8]) have 45 leg pairs.[1][9] An undescribed Tygarrup species found in the Andaman Islands has 43 leg pairs.[1][4] Centipedes in this genus are sometimes melanised in patches, and sternal glands are present the males of most species. These centipedes range from 2 cm to 6 cm in length.[1] Tygarrup javanicus is one of the smallest of the mecistocephalid species (only 20 mm long) and has become an invasive in greenhouses in Europe.[10][11]
