Latzelia is an extinct genus of scutigeromorph centipedes, and the type and only genus of the family Latzeliidae.[1] It existed during the Carboniferous in what is now Illinois (found in Mazon Creek fossil beds).[1] It was described by Samuel Hubbard Scudder in 1890, and the type species, and only known species, is Latzelia primordialis.[2] The genus name honors Austrian zoologist Robert Latzel.[3]

This centipede genus should not be confused with two invalid names applied to millipede genera: the first proposed Bollman in 1893 for a glomeridan species now in the genus Glomeridella, and the second by Verhoeff in 1895 for a genus of chordeumatidans now known as Verhoeffia.[3]
