A further contribution to the knowledge of <i>Pectiniunguis minutus</i> (Demange, 1968), a little known dwarf schendylid centipede from western equatorial Africa (Chilopoda: Geophilomorpha)

The geophilomorph centipede <i>Pectiniunguis minutus</i> (Demange, 1968), a little known dwarf schendylid from Gabon (Western equatorial Africa), is redescribed and illustrated based on the type material and an additional non-type specimen preserved in the collections of the Muséum natio...
