To clarify their discrimination, the taxa of the Scolopendra subspinipes group, formerly treated as subspecies of this species, are reviewed. Scolopendra dehaani stat. revalid. and Scolopendra japonica stat. revalid. are reconfirmed at species level. Scolopendra subspinipes cingulatoides is raised to species level. This species is renamed to Scolopendra dawydoffi nom. nov. to avoid homonymy with Scolopendra cingulatoides Newport, 1844 which was placed in synonymy under Scolopendra cingulata Latreille, 1829 by Kohlrausch (1881). Scolopendra subspinipes piceoflava syn. nov. and Scolopendra subspinipes fulgurans syn. nov. are proposed as new synonyms of Scolopendra subspinipes, which is now without subspecies. Lewis already synonymized Otostigmus politoides Attems, 1953 and Otostigmus puncticeps Attems, 1953 under Scolopendra subspinipes without going down to subspecies level– both species are synonymized now (syn. nov.) under Scolopendra japonica. Furthermore, Scolopendra hainanum spec. nov., a species near allied to S. subspinipes is described from Hainan Island, China.

The function of the variously shaped ultimate legs of Scolopendridae is briefly reviewed. Their function in Scolopendra heros Girard, 1853, Scolopendra subspinipes Leach, 1815, Scolopendra morsitans (Linnaeus, 1758), Scolopendra galapagoensis Bollman, 1889, Scolopendra hainanum Kronmüller, 2012, Scolopendra spinosissima Kraepelin, 1903 Cormocephalus aurantiipes (Newport, 1844) and Ethmostigmus trigonopodus (Leach, 1817), in which they are least specialised has been investigated. Specimens were tapped with forceps on different parts of the trunk to simulate the attack of a predator. When tapped on the first third of the trunk (near the head), the centipedes attacked the forceps with their forcipules. When tapped on the last third or the ultimate legs, they adopted a warning position, raising the ultimate legs to display the ventral and medial prefemoral spines as well as the spined coxopleural processes. In some cases the centipedes attacked the forceps with the claws of the ultimate legs by chopping down on them after lifting the legs high into the warning position. When tapped in the mid part of the trunk, the centipedes curled sideways to reach the forceps with their forcipules and ultimate legs simultaneously. Scolopendra galapagoensis not only lifted the ultimate legs into the warning position but also the last 3-4 pairs of locomotory legs, presenting their distodorsal prefemoral spines. This resembles the warning posture of some spiders. In addition to their function in warning behaviour, defensive stabbing, ritualised meeting reactions and during courtship behaviour, the ultimate legs may in addition act as hooks and perhaps be involved in species recognition. No evidence was found that the ultimate legs are used to catch prey, nor of prey or predators being held between the prefemora.

The genus Scolopendra Linnaeus, 1758 currently comprises 13 valid species in Mexico. One of the species, Scolopendra aztecorum Verhoeff, 1934 has been considered a potential synonym of S. viridis Say, 1821, S. polymorpha Wood, 1861, or Arthrorhabdus pygmaeus (Pocock, 1895). To shed light on its true status, five of the six syntype specimens were examined, redescribed and illustrated for the first time. Scolopendra aztecorum is diagnosable from all other Mexican species and remains in the genus Scolopendra as a valid species.
