Resumo: The geophilomorph centipede Pectiniunguis minutus (Demange, 1968), a little known dwarf schendylid from Gabon (Western equatorial Africa), is redescribed and illustrated based on the type material and an additional non-type specimen preserved in the collections of the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle, Paris. P. minutus can be easily differentiated from all the other species currently assigned to the genus Pectiniunguis, by the very low number of leg-bearing segments (35 in the males, 37 or 39 in the females) and very small body size (12-16 mm in length). P. minutus is also distinguished by having ventral pore-fields on the anterior region of the body only, this character being shared by a single species of the genus, i.e., P. ascendens Pereira, Minelli & Barbieri, 1994, from the Neotropics (Brazil: State of Amazonas) with which a morphological comparison is given. Comments about other dwarf centipede species belonging to several families of the order Geophilomorpha, are also added.

El quilópodo geofilomorfo Pectiniunguis minutus (Demange, 1968), una especie enana de Schendylidae pobremente conocida de Gabon (Africa ecuatorial occidental), se redescribe e ilustra en base al material tipo y a un espécimen adicional no tipo conservados en las colecciones del Muséum national d' Histoire naturelle, París. P. minutus se puede diferenciar fácilmente de todas las otras especies actualmente asignadas al género Pectiniunguis, por el número muy bajo de segmentos pedales (35 en los machos, 37 o 39 en las hembras) y la pequeña longitud del cuerpo (12-16 mm). P. minutus también se distingue por tener campos de poros ventrales solamente en la región anterior del cuerpo, carácter que es compartido por una sola especie del género, i.e., P. ascendens Pereira, Minelli & Barbieri, 1994, distribuída en la Región Neotropical (Brasil: Estado de Amazonas), con la cual una comparación morfológica es brindada. Comentarios sobre otras especies enanas de ciempiés pertenecientes a diversas familias del orden Geophilomorpha, son también incluidos.
