Pachymerium caucasicum is a species of centipede in Geophilidae family. It was described by Carl Attems in 1903 and is endemic to the European part of Turkey.[1] Males of this species have 47 pairs of legs; females have 49 pairs of legs.[2] Authorities now deem P. caucasicum to be a junior synonym of P. ferrugineum.[3][4]
