Remarks: Attems (1929:348) cited S. occidentalis L. under “Geophilomorpha incertae sedis,” but the name does not appear to have been assigned to a genus in that order or placed in synonymy. Scolopendra occidentalis L., 1758, is a senior primary homonym of S. occidentalis Meinert, 1886, from the “west coast of Mexico.”
