Resumen: Los quilópodos son un grupo de miriápodos con una diversidad media y que se componen de cinco órdenes. Tres de estos órdenes, Geophilomorpha, Lithobiomorpha y Scutigeromorpha han sido pobremente estudiados en el territorio colombiano a lo largo de los años. Los dos primeros órdenes contienen más de 1000 especies, mientras que el tercero apenas alcanza las 95. Teniendo en cuenta el bajo protagonismo que han tenido estos grupos de ciempiés, nace este estudio cuyo objetivo es actualizar la información taxonómica de los tres órdenes mencionados utilizando diversas fuentes de datos. Se realizó una búsqueda exhaustiva de documentos en diferentes bases de datos, además de un análisis de los registros de ciempiés disponibles en el SIB Colombia en las colecciones biológicas. Se encontró que la diversidad de los tres taxones fue de 10 familias, 16 géneros y 15 especies. Asimismo, se encontró la presencia de los tres órdenes en 25 de los 32 departamentos del territorio colombiano. También fue posible evidenciar grandes vacíos taxonómicos, especialmente en Geophilomorpha, donde un gran número de registros no sobrepasan el nivel taxonómico de orden. La diversidad de estos grupos sigue siendo relativamente enigmática debido a la poca información que existe de estos grupos, además que en Colombia los expertos en el tema de la miriapodología son escasos. Por lo anterior es necesario adelantar estrategias que permitan la correcta formación de profesionales en esta área de la zoología y así resolver la cuestión de la diversidad de ciempiés en el país.

The great forgotten: The case of the centipedes from the order Geophilomorpha, Lithobiomorpha and Scutigeromorpha

Abstract: Chilopods are a group of myriapods with a medium diversity and that are composed of five orders. Three of these orders, Geophilomorpha, Lithobiomorpha and Scutigeromorpha, have been poorly studied in colombian territory over the years. The first two orders contain more than 1000 species, while the third barely reaches 95. Taking into account the low prominence that these groups of centipedes have had, this study was born which objective is to update the taxonomic information of the three mentioned orders using various data sources. An exhaustive search of documents was carried out in different databases, in addition to an analysis of the centipede records available in biological collections into the SIB Colombia. The diversity of the three taxa was found to be 10 families, 16 genera and 15 species. Likewise, the presence of the three orders was found in 25 of the 32 departments of the colombian territory. It was also possible to show large taxonomic gaps, especially in Geophilomorpha, where a large number of records do not exceed the taxonomic order level. The diversity of these groups is still relatively enigmatic due to the little information that exists on these groups, in addition to the fact that in Colombia there are few experts on the subject of myriapodology. Therefore, it is necessary to advance strategies that allow the correct training of professionals in this area of zoology and thus solve the question of the diversity of centipedes in the country.

Centipedes are widely distributed over all continents. They have significant medicinal value and high toxicity, making them an intriguing subject for evolutionary research. The current study aims to provide the first comprehensive analysis of the morphology, description, and distribution preferences of the Egyptian Scolopendromorpha centipede fauna. According to surveillance research in Egypt, two Scolopendra species have been re-described. Scolopendra canidensNewport.1844 were discovered in only one location, whereas Scolopendra morsitans s Linnaeus,1758 was more abundant. Both venomous glands were histochemically investigated. This study is the first comparative report on the histology and histochemistry of the venom glands of the Egyptian centipede species. Both species’ glands are primarily composed of columnar secretory cells radially arranged side by side and open through pores in a central chitinous duct. Each secretory cell is enclosed in striated muscle fibers. The secretion of both glands takes the shape of small PAS-positive granules, suggesting the presence of neutral polysaccharides. According to this surveillance study, the most abundant species was Scolopendra morsitans s Linnaeus,1758. Scolopendra canidens canidensNewport.1844 were found only on the Northwest coast of Egypt. The findings also revealed that the analyzed species are comparable in terms of their venom morphology and fundamental chemical composition.

Five species of scolopendromorph centipedes are recorded from northern Iraq and previous record for the country reviewed. Specimens previously identified as Scolopendra morsitans L., 1758 by Chamberlin are either S. canidens Newport, 1844 or S. mirabilis (Porat, 1876): his records of S. morsitans from Iraq should be disregarded. Trachycormocephalus occidentalis iraquensis Turk is a junior synonym of S. mirabilis.

A checklist of Centipedes (Chilopoda) for Cameroon with updated nomenclature of old records and recent additional records from Cameroon’s fauna is provided. The provisional list reveals nine endemic species (39%), four new distribution records, and includes four species that were previously omitted, thereby leading to a modest extension of the list from 19 to 23 species. Several unidentified or doubtful species no longer recognized from the African continent are excluded from the list.

The German Specialized Information Service Biodiversity Research (BIOfid) is an infrastructure that provides scientists with information tailored to the specific needs of biodiversity research and related disciplines (Koch et al. 2017). The service, in particular, promotes digital access to legacy literature and enables the retrieval of research-relevant data using natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning (ML) techniques (Hemati et al. 2016, Abrami et al. 2020, Lücking et al. 2021), and provides a customized semantic search engine (Pachzelt et al. 2021). Thus, historical species records can be found and help to estimate past and present species distributions as well as potential range shifts. Future BIOfid services are planned to specifically address interoperability and linking of research data for rapid integration into national and international databases such as the German Federation for Biological Data (GFBio) and the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF). To this end, for example, BIOfid will contribute to further developing the open-source virtual research environment (VRE) Scratchpads (Smith et al. 2011) and promote its usage in the scientific community. Based on a use case on myriapods, we will test the ability of the two tools mentioned above to accelerate information retrieval and knowledge sharing by professional data mobilization and management methods. Certain myriapod species are known to have been introduced from tropical and subtropical environments to Germany, a country that lies in the north temperate zone. In this regard, we will scour BIOfid´s legacy literature for these species to find spatio-temporal evidence. Moreover, we will explore the usefulness of Myriatrix, a Scratchpads instance specialized on Myriapoda and Onychophora, to collate information on millipede and centipede species introduced to German greenhouses. Data on 35 diplopod and 18 chilopod species in German greenhouses (Decker et al. 2014) have been integrated into Myriatrix using the "Taxon Description" content type provided by Scratchpads. Subsequently, more comprehensive, recent information on the millipede Cylindrodesmus hirsutus Pocock, 1889 (Martínez-Muñoz 2020 onwards) has been incorporated. Finally, we will show how this compiled information can be integrated into GBIF through the Scratchpads' Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A) export.

The lithobiomorph centipedes Lithobius (Lithobius) forficatus (Linnaeus, 1758) and Lithobius (Lithobius) obscurus Meinert, 1872 are here reported for the first time in Colombia. We examined 193 individuals from collections kept in several universities and natural history museums from Bogotá city were examined. Lithobius forficatus (191 specimens) was recorded up to 2746 m above sea level in areas with some amount of anthropic disturbance. Lithobius obscurus (2 specimens) was recorded at 2700 m above sea level in a rural area near Sogamoso, Boyacá. We note morphological variation and habitats for both species. These are the first records of introduced centipedes belonging to the genus Lithobius Leach, 1814 in Colombia.

A review is given of all the literature records of millipedes and centipedes that have been found in German greenhouses together with additional records for 29 such sites. Species lists are given for 46 greenhouses investigated throughout Germany. Thirty-five diplopod and 18 chilopod species were found to occur in greenhouses, of which 15 (3 Chilopoda, 12 Diplopoda) are restricted to this type of habitat.

The fauna of scutigeromorph centipedes in the Dominican Republic is studied for the first time based on a sample of 28 individuals collected at 21 localities in 12 provinces. This sample was found to represent two species: Sphendononema guildingii (Newport, 1844) and Dendrothereua linceci (Wood, 1867), both species with a wide geographic distribution in the Caribbean and tropical America. The widely introduced and synanthropic species of Mediterranean origin Scutigera coleoptrata (Linnaeus, 1758) has never been found in Hispaniola. The scutigeromorph centipedes found as fossilized inclusions in the Dominican amber remain to be properly studied and identified.

The Western Ghats (WG) mountain chain in peninsular India is a global biodiversity hotspot, one in which patterns of phylogenetic diversity and endemism remain to be documented across taxa. We used a well-characterized community of ancient soil predatory arthropods from the WG to understand diversity gradients, identify hotspots of endemism and conservation importance, and highlight poorly studied areas with unique biodiversity. We compiled an occurrence dataset for 19 species of scolopendrid centipedes, which was used to predict areas of habitat suitability using bioclimatic and geomorphological variables in Maxent. We used predicted distributions and a time-calibrated species phylogeny to calculate taxonomic and phylogenetic indices of diversity, endemism, and turnover. We observed a decreasing latitudinal gradient in taxonomic and phylogenetic diversity in the WG, which supports expectations from the latitudinal diversity gradient. The southern WG had the highest phylogenetic diversity and endemism, and was represented by lineages with long branch lengths as observed from relative phylogenetic diversity/endemism. These results indicate the persistence of lineages over evolutionary time in the southern WG and are consistent with predictions from the southern WG refuge hypothesis. The northern WG, despite having low phylogenetic diversity, had high values of phylogenetic endemism represented by distinct lineages as inferred from relative phylogenetic endemism. The distinct endemic lineages in this subregion might be adapted to life in lateritic plateaus characterized by poor soil conditions and high seasonality. Sites across an important biogeographic break, the Palghat Gap, broadly grouped separately in comparisons of species turnover along the WG. The southern WG and Nilgiris, adjoining the Palghat Gap, harbor unique centipede communities, where the causal role of climate or dispersal barriers in shaping diversity remains to be investigated. Our results highlight the need to use phylogeny and distribution data while assessing diversity and endemism patterns in the WG.

Background: The jointed appendage is a key novelty in arthropod evolution and arthropod legs are known to vary enormously in relation to function. Among centipedes, the ultimate legs always are distinctly different from locomotory legs, and different centipede taxa evolved different structural and functional modifications. In Geophilomorpha (soil centipedes), ultimate legs do not participate in locomotion and were interpret to serve a sensory function. They can be sexually dimorphic and in some species, male ultimate legs notably appear “hairy”. It can be assumed that the high abundance of sensilla indicates a pronounced sensory function. This study seeks for assessing the sensory diversity, however, documents the surprising and unique case of an extensive glandular epithelium in the ultimate legs of three phylogenetically distant species.
Results: The tightly aggregated epidermal glands with stalked ducts – mistakenly thought to be sensilla – were scrutinized using a multimodal microscopic approach comprising histology as well as scanning and transmission electron microscopy in Haplophilus subterraneus. Hence, this is the first detailed account on centipede ultimate legs demonstrating an evolutionary transformation into a “secretory leg”. Additionally, we investigated sensory structures as well as anatomical features using microCT analysis. Contrary to its nomination as a tarsus, tarsus 1 possesses intrinsic musculature, which is an indication that this podomere might be a derivate of the tibia.
Discussion: The presence and identity of ultimate leg associated epidermal glands with stalked ducts is a new discovery for myriapods. A pronounced secretory as well as moderate sensory function in Haplophilus subterraneus can be concluded. The set of characters will improve future taxonomic studies, to test the hypotheses whether the presence of these specialized glands is a common feature in Geophilomorpha, and that tarsus 1 may be a derivate of the tibia. As the number of epidermal glands with stalked ducts is sexually dimorphic, their function might be connected to reproduction or a sex-specific defensive role. Our results, in particular the unexpected discovery of ‘glandular hairs’, may account for a striking example for how deceptive morphological descriptions of epidermal organs may be, if based on non-invasive techniques alone.

Recent research in island biogeography has highlighted the important role of late Quaternary sea‐level fluctuations in shaping biogeographic patterns in insular systems but focused on oceanic systems. Through this study, we aim investigate how late Quaternary sea‐level fluctuations shaped species richness patterns in continental‐shelf island systems. Focusing on the Aegean archipelago, we first compiled maps of the area's geography using published data, under three sea‐level stands: (a) current; (b) median sea‐level over the last nine glacial–interglacial cycles (MSL); and (c) Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). We gathered taxon–island occurrences for multiple chorotypes of angiosperms, butterflies, centipedes, and reptiles. We investigated the impact of present‐day and past geographic settings on chorological groups by analyzing island species–area relationships (ISARs) and using generalized linear mixed models (GLMMs) selection based on multiple metrics of goodness of fit. Our results confirm that the Aegean's geography has changed dramatically since the LGM, whereas the MSL only modestly differs from the present configuration. Apart for centipedes, paleogeographic changes affected both native and endemic species diversity through altering connections between land‐bridge islands and the mainland. On land‐bridge islands, we detected over‐representation of native species and under‐representation of endemics. Unlike oceanic islands, sea‐level‐driven increase of isolation and area contraction did not strongly shape patterns of species richness. Furthermore, the LGM configurations rather than the MSL configuration shaped patterns of endemic species richness. This suggests that even short episodes of increased connectivity with continental populations are sufficient to counteract the genetic differentiation of insular populations. On the other hand, the over‐representation of native nonendemic species on land‐bridge islands reflected MSL rather than LGM mainland connections. Our study shows that in terms of processes affecting species richness patterns, continental archipelagos differ fundamentally from oceanic systems because episodic connections with the mainland have profound effects on the biota of land‐bridge islands.

Haemocyanins (Hcs) are copper-containing, respiratory proteins that occur in the haemolymph of many arthropod species. Here, we report the presence of Hcs in the chilopode Myriapoda, demonstrating that these proteins are more widespread among the Arthropoda than previously thought. The analysis of transcriptome of S. subspinipes subpinipes reveals the presence of two distinct subunits of Hc, where the signal peptide is present, and six of prophenoloxidase (PPO), where the signal peptide is absent, in the 75 kDa range. Size exclusion chromatography profiles indicate different quaternary organization for Hc of both species, which was corroborated by TEM analysis: S. viridicornis Hc is a 6 × 6-mer and S. subspinipes Hc is a 3 × 6-mer, which resembles the half-structure of the 6 × 6-mer but also includes the presence of phenoloxidases, since the 1 × 6-mer quaternary organization is commonly associated with hexamers of PPO. Studies with Chelicerata showed that PPO activity are exclusively associated with the Hcs. This study indicates that Scolopendra may have different proteins playing oxygen transport (Hc) and PO function, both following the hexameric oligomerization observed in Hcs.

Centipedes feed mainly on insects and other invertebrates. However, they may occasionally enhance their diet with small vertebrates. Lizard consumption by centipedes is rather rare. Here, we report an incident of saurophagy by the most common Mediterranean scolopendrid, Scolopendra cingulata, on the Aegean wall lizard, Podarcis erhardii. Island particularities may trigger such behaviours that could be more frequent than previously thought.

For the first time in Poland, centipedes of a tropical species Tygarrup javanicus (Attems, 1907) (Geophilomorpha) were found in the hothouses with the tropical vegetation of the Botanical Garden in Wrocław. This Asian species has increasingly been reported from European greenhouses. Its spread is facilitated, among other factors, by small body size and parthenogenesis. In Poland one should also expect other exotic species which have already been found in neighbouring countries.

The currently documented fauna of described species of myriapods in Canada includes 54 Chilopoda, 66 Diplopoda, 23 Pauropoda, and two Symphyla, representing increases of 24, 23, 23, and one species, respectively, since 1979. Of the 145 myriapod species currently documented, 40 species are not native to Canada. The myriapods have not been well documented with DNA barcodes and no barcodes are available for Pauropoda. It is conservatively estimated that at least 93 additional myriapods species will be discovered in Canada: Chilopoda (40), Diplopoda (29), Pauropoda (17), and Symphyla (seven). In general, there is a serious dearth of knowledge about myriapods in Canada, and systematics research and surveys continue to be needed to help document the diversity and distribution of these groups in the country.

The myriapod communities of an area of woodland restored to wood pasture through tree felling was compared with a control site in dense woodland, using pitfall trapping over a 28-year period. 14 species of millipede and 13 of centipede were recorded. Numbers of individual species varied over time even within the control plot. There were significantly more centipede individuals and species and more millipede species in the control plot than the restoration area. NMDS ordination indicated three groupings for the millipedes in the restored area with the community changing following the initial restoration to a tight cluster but then further movement in later years. In contrast the control community showed little variation. 2015 showed the greatest change from other years, probably due to high abundance of two species of polydesmid millipede that year, in both plots. The results are discussed in comparison with other studies looking at the impact of the edge effect of forests. The community of the restored area has perhaps not changed as much as expected, which may indicate a high degree of resilience, although it may be acting more like a forest clearing than an edge.

As a contribution to a revision of the scolopendromorph centipede subgenus Otostigmus of the genus Otostigmus, the type specimens of 11 species described by R. V. Chamberlin from the Indo-Australian region and in the collection of the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard have been redescribed. Of these 11, six are junior synonyms of other Otostigmus species, one is a junior synonym of Rhysida longipes longipes (Newport, 1845) and one a nomen dubium. Only three, namely, Otostigmus amballae Chamberlin, 1913, Otostigmus proponens Chamberlin, 1920 and Otostigmus pamuanus Chamberlin, 1920 are valid.

Speleopsobius weaveri, n. gen., n. sp., is described from lava tubes in southern Idaho, USA. The new taxon, and species of the genera Buethobius Chamberlin, 1911 and its probable synonym Yobius Chamberlin, 1945, are members of the family Anopsobiidae, not previously reported from North America. All known species of Henicopidae and Anopsobiidae from North America north of México are listed and briefly noted, along with all known anopsobiids from the northern hemisphere. Anopsobiella dawidoffi Attems, 1938 (Vietnam) is likely not a member of the family Anopsobiidae.

El orden Scolopendromorpha, cuyos representantes son comúnmente conocidos como ciempiés gigantes, cuenta con alrededor de 678 especies distribuidas por el mundo entero. A pesar de su importancia ecológica, evolutiva y biomédica, los estudios sobre la diversidad de estos ciempiés son escasos en Cuba. Con el objetivo de sentar las bases para futuros avances, en este trabajo se revisa literatura sobre el grupo, desde 1758 hasta la actualidad. Como resultado se actualiza la taxonomía del orden, que se encuentra representado en Cuba por 21 especies, distribuidas en tres familias, cinco subfamilias y seis géneros. Para facilitar el manejo de la información, se listan todos los nombres disponibles y sus sinonimias cubanas, y se resaltan los cambios con respecto a los datos de biodiversidad actualmente en uso.

The order Scolopendromorpha, which representatives are commonly known as giant centipedes, includes about 678 species distributed around the world. Despite its ecological, evolutionary and biomedical importance, studies about diversity of these centipedes are scarce in Cuba. Aiming to provide a basis for future advances, this work focuses on reviewing literature on the group, from 1758 to the present day. As result, the taxonomy of the order is updated, which is represented in Cuba by 21 species, distributed in three families, five subfamilies and six genera. To facilitate information managing, all available names and Cuban synonymies are listed, and changes relative to currently used biodiversity data are highlighted.

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.
