These analyses corroborated the monophyly of most families and tribes but suggested that several species-rich, cosmopolitan genera in traditional and current classifications are polyphyletic. Denser taxon sampling is applied to a dataset of 122 morphological characters and sequences for four nuclear and mitochondrial loci. Phylogenetic analyses including 98 species and subspecies of Scolopendromorpha employ parsimony under dynamic and static homology schemes as well as maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference of multiple sequence alignments. The monotypic Australian genera Notiasemus and Kanparka nest within Cormocephalus and Scolopendra, respectively, and the New Caledonian Campylostigmus is likewise a clade within Cormocephalus. New World Scolopendra are more closely related to Hemiscolopendra and Arthrorhabdus than to Scolopendra s.s., which is instead closely allied to Asanada; the tribe Asanadini nests within Scolopendrini for molecular and combined datasets. The generic classification of Otostigmini has a poor fit to phylogenetic relationships, although nodal support within this tribe is weak. New synonymies are proposed for Ectonocryptopinae Shelley & Mercurio, 2005 (≤ Newportiinae Pocock, 1896), Asanadini Verhoeff, 1907 (≤ Scolopendrini Leach, 1814), and Kanparka Waldock & Edgecombe, 2012 (≤ Scolopendra Linnaeus, 1758). Scolopendrid systematics largely depicts incongruence between phylogeny and classification rather than between morphology and molecules. © 2013 CSIRO.10aChilopoda10amolecules10amorphology10aphylogeny10aScolopendromorpha.1 aVahtera, Varpu1 aEdgecombe, Gregory, D.1 aGiribet, Gonzalo  uhttps://myriatrix.myspecies.info/content/phylogenetics-scolopendromorph-centipedes-can-denser-taxon-sampling-improve-artificial
