During a study of Sphaerotherium samples from South Africa, the underside of the posterior margin of the tergites was found to yield some important taxonomic characters that appear remarkably stable both in the male and female, as well as between stadia and tergites. The opportunity is taken here to revise most of the oldest Sphaerotherium species, with special reference to the structure of the posterior tergal margin. All available type material of the species described by Brandt, Gervais, C. L. Koch, Porat and Karsch have been revised, with the following synonymies established or confirmed: S. klugii Brandt, 1841, S. repulsum Karsch, 1881, S. trichopygum Attems, 1908 and S. ancillare Attems, 1928 = S. compressum Brandt, 1833; S. microstictum Brandt, 1841 = S. elongatum Brandt, 1833; S. retusum C. L. Koch, 1847 = S. dorsale Gervais, 1847, and S. grossum C. L. Koch, 1847 = S. obtusum C. L. Koch, 1847. As the subgenera Neobournellum Attems, 1908 and Tetraconosoma Verhoeff, 1924 appear to be strict junior subjective synonyms of Sphaerotherium s. str., to replace Sphaerotherium auct. the genus-group name Bournellum De Saussure & Zehntner, 1902 is revived as currently the earliest available substitute, with the type species Sphaerotherium retusum C. L. Koch, 1847 showing ≥7 sensory cones on the last antennomere. A neotype of Oligaspis puncticeps Wood, 1865 has been selected, and the species is shown to be a new junior subjective synonym of S. rotundatum Brandt, 1833.

The centipedes of Canada and Alaska are poorly known. This paper indicates the present state of knowledge of the class, including "economic" and "biological" aspects, insofar as this is relevant to Canada and the adjacent United States of America. The systematic and other related literature applicable to the region is briefly reviewed. The principal part of the paper provides a classified list of the species of centipedes (with most of their synonyms) hitherto known for Canada and Alaska. In order to alert workers as to possible future additions to the Canadian fauna, those species known from other adjacent United States, southern New England, and Oregon are added. The known distribution of each species is given by province, territory, or state within the region, but known distributions further afield are not generally indicated. About 70 species (over a dozen of them introduced) are known for Canada and Alaska. Some 70 or so are found in the adjacent United States or southern New England. It is estimated that the Canadian–Alaskan fauna may eventually prove to comprise more than 100 species of Chilopoda. A note on Canadian Symphyla (including the record of a member of a hitherto unreported family) is appended.

The scolopendromorph centipede fauna of North America comprises three families, eight genera, and 21 species as follows: Scolopendridae [Scolopendra viridis Say, S. polymorpha Wood, S. heros Girard, and S. alternans Leach; Hemiscolopendra marginata (Say); and Arthrorhabdus pygmaeus (Pocock)], Scolopocryptopidae [Scolopocryptops sexspinosus (Say), S. nigridius McNeill, S. peregrinator (Crabill), S. rubiginosus L. Koch, S. gracilis Wood, and S. spinicaudus Wood; Kethops utahensis (Chamberlin) and K. atypus Chamberlin; and Thalkethops grallatrix Crabill], and Cryptopidae [Theatops posticus (Say), T. spinicaudus (Wood), T. phanus Chamberlin, and T. californiensis Chamberlin; Cryptops leucopodus (Rafinesque) and C. floridanus Chamberlin]. Cryptops hortensis (Donovan), an introduced Palearctic species, is established in urban environments across the continent; C. parisi Brolemann, another Palearctic species, has been encountered in Newfoundland, and Rhysida longipes Newport, a Neotropical species, in south Florida and California. Additionally, C. anomalans Leach, a third Palearctic species, may occur in eastern Canada and northern New England, and Scolopendra subspinipes Leach and S. morsitans L. have been intercepted at quarantines at ports. Scolopendra crudelis C. L. Koch, S. mima Chamberlin, Rhysida celeris (Humbert and Saussure), Ethmostigmus californicus Chamberlin, Dinocryptops miersii (Newport), Newportia sp., and Cryptops vector, C. nautiphilus, C. venezuelae, C. watsingus, and C. positus, all by Chamberlin, are deleted from the continental fauna. The Scolopocryptopinae Pocock, formerly a subfamily in the Cryptopidae Kohlrausch, is returned to full familial status and comprises two subfamilies in addition to the nominate: Newportiinae Pocock and Kethopinae, new subfamily. The following new synonymies are proposed: Anethops Chamberlin under Scolopocryptops Newport; Scolopendra utahana Chamberlin under S. viridis; S. californica Humbert and Saussure, S. mohavea Chamberlin, and S. michelbacheri Verhoeff under S. polymorpha; S. heros vars. prismatica Cragin and arizonensis Kraepelin under S. heros; S. hirsutipes Bollman under S. alternans; Scolopocryptops calcaratus Bollman under S. nigridius; Anethops occidentalis and Otocryptops mundus, both by Chamberlin, under Scolopocryptops gracilis; Scolopocryptops nipponicus Shinohara under S. spinicaudus; Kethops leioceps Chamberlin, K. euterpe Crabill, and Cryptops colomanus and C. glenvilleus, both by Chamberlin, under K. utahensis; Cryptops milberti Gervais, C. asperipes Wood, C. sulcatus Meinert, C. centralis Chamberlin, and C. eques Chamberlin and Mulaik under C. leucopodus; C. denmarki Chamberlin and C. parydrus Crabill under C. floridanus; and C. diego Chamberlin under C. hortensis. Keys, diagnoses, and anatomical illustrations facilitate determinations; detailed locality records are supplemented by distribution maps to depict occurrences.

Ten years have passed since the last checklist of Hispaniolan Chilopoda was done and the last bibliographic compendium was published. In this work we expand the former list of species and bibliography, update the taxonomic classification and provide an assessment on Chilobase records. A new intensive literature review was performed and both recent and formerly overlooked myriapodological works were included. The treatment of supraspecific taxonomic ranks was updated and follows Chilobase 2.0. This catalogue lists 4 fossil taxa as well as 24 extant species of centipedes from Hispaniola, 9 of which are endemic. For each extant species considered, there is information on Hispaniolan synonymies and geographic distribution. Included are some clarifications on synonymies and locality problems, and species with uncertain taxonomic status are indicated. Chilobase 2.0 was tested for completeness and accuracy. We propose several updates, grouped by incorrect species records, records not backed by known literature and species not under their currently accepted synonym. We also recommend chilopodologists to maintain active collaboration and send their updates to this useful database.
