Abstract:

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.
