Abstract

A review of all literature, published between 1847 and 2016, provides a comprehensive inventory of research on Chilean Chilopoda. A total of 4 orders, 10 families, 28 genera and 70 species were recorded, highlighting the diversity of Chilopoda species in Chile. The geographical distribution and habitat preferences of all species are given with reference to the literature.
