Order Geophilomorpha Pocock, 1895

Referred material. 1 specimen: MACH.20: adult of undetermined sex, incomplete specimen.

Locality. MACH.20: Mexico, Chiapas, Simojovel, La Pimienta site, 17°08ʹ29ʺ N, 092°45ʹ46ʺ W.

Identification. MACH.20 without head or terminal segments, body with more than 40 pairs of legs; fossil specimen match Geophilomorpha but this shows poor preservation that makes a more detailed description difficult.

Referred material. 1 specimen: G.2005.147.1.1, as seen in Ross et al. (2016: 46, fig. 2).

Locality. Mexico, Chiapas? Simojovel area? The origin of this material is unproven; there are no data about the exact locality or strata provided by Ross et al. (2016).

Remarks. Specimen undetermined; micrograph published in Ross et al. (2016). Accordingly, the specimens resemble Geophilomorpha . Ross et al. (2016) also referred to another geophilomorph specimen, which they identified as G.2007.67.10.1 ( Ross and Sheridan 2013: 55, fig. 9), but this is the same specimen G.2005.147.1.1 (even the same photo) as presented in Ross et al. (2016: 46, fig. 2).
