Nomenclatural remarks: This juvenile specimen of Scolopendra robusta Kraepelin, 1903 from the ZMH, Hamburg, is a paratype. Kraepelin (1903: 239) designated a (holo)type and mentioned a second specimen: “Von dieser Art liegt mir (...) ein junges Individuum aus Kolumbien...”. The applicable article of the Code (ICZN, 1999) is: 72.4.5. When an author designates a holotype [Art. 73.1], then the other specimens of the type series are paratypes. The paratype has been previously mentioned by Weidner (1960: 71, entry 85) as a “paratypoid”, by Shelley (2006: 26) as a paratype, and by Thofern et al. (2021: 77, entry 131) as a “syntype”. The specimen has an entry in Kraepelin’s Scolopendromorpha catalog as a “Co-Typus”, and a catalog card entry as a “Paratypoid”. Unlike for other type specimens, the provenance of the paratype is not mentioned by Weidner (1960), but it was noted as “Museum Strasbourg” by Thofern et al. (2021). Kraepelin (1903: 239) gives it as “Mus. Straßburg”, which agrees with Kraepelin’s Scolopendromorpha catalog, page 69, and with the associated ZMH catalog card.
Geographic remark: This specimen only has country-level (Colombia) information and is therefore not linked to a location in this database.
