Latzelia is an extinct genus of scutigeromorph centipede, and the type and only genus of the family Latzeliidae.[1] It existed during the Carboniferous in what is now Illinois, USA (found in Mazon Creek fossil beds).[1] It was described by Samuel Hubbard Scudder in 1890, and the type species, and only known species, is Latzelia primordialis.[2] The genus name honors Austrian zoologist Robert Latzel.
The centipede genus should not be confused with two invalid names applied to millipedes genera: the first proposed Bollman in 1893 for a glomeridan species now in the genus Glomeridella, the second by Verhoeff in 1895 for a genus of chordeumatidan now known as Verhoeffia.[3]
