Tuoba (centipede)

Tuoba (吐蕃) is not a recognized scientific or common name for any species of centipede. While the term "Tuoba" is historically associated with the Tuoba clan, a Xianbei people who established the Northern Wei dynasty in China, there is no known connection between this clan name and any centipede species. The term might be used colloquially or regionally in a specific context to refer to a centipede, but this usage lacks widespread acceptance or documentation in scientific literature. Further research is needed to determine if this is a misnomer, a regional dialect term, or a completely inaccurate association.
