Abstract:

Abstract: The collection of scolopendromorph centipedes in the Natural History Museum in Vienna is one of the most important in the world, having been studied by Carl Graf Attems (1868-1952) for his renowned publications on Scolopendromorpha. The present contribution provides necessary reidentifications as well as synonymies and adds important morphological details. Species of the genera Arthrorhabdus, Asanada, Cormocephalus, Ethmostigmus, Newportia, Rhoda and Tidops were examined.

Zusammenfassung: Die Scolopendromorpha Sammlung (Chilopoda) im Naturhistorischen Museum in Wien ist eine der wichtigsten weltweit, wurde sie doch von Carl Graf Attems (1868 - 1952) für seine bedeutenden Arbeiten über Scolopendromorpha herangezogen. In dieser Arbeit finden sich neben einigen notwendigen Synonymisierungen auch Neubestimmungen. Gleichzeitig werden zahlreiche bisher noch nicht bekannte morphologische Details zu den einzelnen Arten angegeben. Arten folgender Genera wurden untersucht: Arthrorhabdus, Asanada, Cormocephalus, Ethmostigmus, Newportia, Rhoda, Tidops.
