Euphoberia is an extinct genus of centipede. With a length of 1 m (3 ft 4 in), it was about four times the size of the largest contemporary species, Scolopendra gigantea.
There are varying opinions about the appropriate classification of Euphoberia. Some experts believe it is an ancestor of millipedes while some feel it is an ancestor of the related centipedes (Chilipoda).
