Pleurostigmomorpha
Cormocephalus rubriceps, a species of bark centipede found in Australia
Scientific classification
Kingdom:	Animalia
Phylum:	Arthropoda
Subphylum:	Myriapoda
Class:	Chilopoda
Subclass:	Pleurostigmomorpha

Pleurostigmomorpha is a subclass of centipedes, containing all the orders except Scutigeromorpha. It contains 4 orders, which are subsequently divided into 15 families, 363 genera, and 3104 species.

The spiricales are always branched and present in pairs in Pleurostigmomorpha, as opposed to those of Notostigmomorpha, whose spiracles are shorter and appear individually.

A 2022 paper reported that "Lithobiomorpha is the earliest diverging clade while the order Scolopendromorpha and the order Geophilomorpha cluster into one clade."
