ABSTRACT. No special studies on the centipede fauna of the Chechen Republic have hitherto been performed. The only species of Chilopoda known from this territory was Scolopendra cingulata Latreille, 1829. In the course of our work, we have discovered 17 species from 11 genera, seven families and three orders. All records are mapped, some species are supplied with morphological illustrations.
KEY WORDS: diversity, fauna, distribution, taxonomy, map, Ciscaucasia.
