Cormocephalus coynei is a species of centipede found on the uninhabited Phillip and Nepean islands to the south of Norfolk Island.[2] It is also known as the Phillip Island centipede.[3] The species was observed on Phillip Island in 1792,[2] but was not formally described until 1984.[1][4] It can grow up to 23.5 cm[5], and is reddish brown and orange in colour. The Phillip Island centipede is known for its habit of preying on vertebrates including geckos, skinks, black-winged petrel nestlings and fish, as well as other small arthropods.[6]
