Transcription of labels: |MZS Myr 424|, handwritten, pencil, Marie Meister’s label. |Scolopendra viridis Say  Speyer 1901   Monterey   Mexico|, handwritten, pencil, Karl Kraepelin’s label. |Hemiscolopendra marginata (Say, 1821)   Det: C.

Curatorial remark: Speyer is a vendor, not a field collector.

Taxonomic remarks: A label in the jar containing the MZS-Myr-424 specimen vial attributes the identifications to Kraepelin. The misidentification of the specimen as S. viridis by Kraepelin is noticeable because he (Kraepelin, 1903) established the genus Hemiscolopendra. The MZS-Myr-424 specimen lacks tarsal spurs on all legs.
