It is the only family in the suborder Placodesmata.[1][2][3] Most species in this family live in tropical or subtropical regions, but some occur in temperate regions.[4] This family is the third most diverse in the order Geophiliomorpha (after Geophilidae and Schendylidae),[5] with about 170 species,[6] including about 130 species in the genus Mecistocephalus.[4]
