Blind scolopendras [1] ( lat. Cryptopidae ) is a family of carnivorous leg-footed millipedes from the scolopendra order, which includes more than 170 species [2] (more than half of them are from the genus Cryptops [3] ). Small poisonous scolopendra (12–45 mm), for example, the famous European (including Russia) cryptopid Cryptops hortensis has a length of only about 15 mm. No eyes. The body consists of 21 segments with the same number of pairs of legs. Painted in tan. On the head are a pair of antennas, a pair of jaws and two pairs of maxillas. Poisonous glands open at the ends of the first pair of legs, transformed into the maxilla [4] . Paws are almost always single-segmented [5] .

Systematics
More than 170 species [2] . The genus Mimops with a single species is sometimes isolated in a separate family Mimopidae Lewis . The subfamily Plutoniuminae ( Plutonium and Theatops ) [6] , previously included in the composition of Cryptopidae, now received an independent status as a separate family of Plutoniumidae [2] .
