Garriscaphus amplus is a species of soil centipede in the family Himantariidae, described by Chamberlin in 1941. As a member of the order Geophilomorpha, it is an elongate, multi-legged myriapod adapted for burrowing through soil and leaf litter. The genus Garriscaphus is poorly known, and this species has received limited study. Available records indicate it occurs in the United States, though specific ecological details remain largely undocumented.
