Schizonampa

Schizonampa is a genus of soil centipedes in the family Geophilidae. This genus contains five species. These centipedes are found in tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas and Africa.

== Discovery, taxonomy, and distribution == This genus was first proposed in 1914 by the American biologist Ralph V. Chamberlin to contain the newly discovered species S. manni, which he explicitly designated as the type species for this genus. He based the original descriptions of this genus and this species on a female specimen collected by the American zoologist William M. Mann and the American naturalist Fred Baker in 1911 in the state of Pará in Brazil. Parts of this holotype are deposited in the form of a slide at the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard University.
