Allothereua is a genus of scutigeromorph centipedes containing 9 species ranging from Central Asia (Kazakhstan and Nepal) to the Philippines to Australia, where at least six species are found.[1] A 2009 study of scutigeromorph phylogeny found Allothereua to be polyphyletic; some species were more closely related to Parascutigera.[2] The genus name Allothereua comes from the Greek ἄλλος (állos) 'other' and θηρεύω (thēreúō) 'hunt'.[3]
