Latzelia

Latzelia is an extinct genus of scutigeromorph centipedes, and the type and only genus of the family Latzeliidae. It existed during the Carboniferous in what is now Illinois. It was described by Samuel [Hubbard Scudder] in 1890, and the type species, and only known species, is Latzelia primordialis. The genus name honors Austrian zoologist Robert Latzel.
This centipede genus should not be confused with two invalid names applied to millipede genera: the first proposed Charles [Harvey Bollman|Bollman] in 1893 for a glomeridan species now in the genus Glomeridella, and the second by Karl [Wilhelm Verhoeff|Verhoeff] in 1895 for a genus of chordeumatidans now known as Verhoeffia.
