Pauropus huxleyi is a species of minute myriapod in the class Pauropoda, described by Lubbock in 1867. Pauropods are small, soft-bodied arthropods typically less than 2 mm in length, characterized by 9–11 pairs of legs and distinctive branched antennae. The species name honors Thomas Henry Huxley, the prominent 19th-century biologist and supporter of Darwin's theory of evolution. P. huxleyi has been recorded across multiple continents including Australia, Europe, and North America.
