Lithobius variegatus is a species of centipede found in Europe, sometimes called the common banded centipede or banded centipede. Lithobius variegatus can be distinguished from its close relative Lithobius forficatus by the presence of conspicuous purple or brown rings around its legs. It preys on small invertebrates such as woodlice (including Philoscia muscorum, Oniscus asellus, Porcellio scaber, and Androniscus dentiger) and millipedes, including Polydesmus angustus and Tachypodoiulus niger.
