821D87CCFFAE79792EA8CD58E4B1FE63.taxon	discussion	Remarks on the holotype of Newportia unguifer. The type specimen was not seen in person by [the author / me]. However, the holotype of N. unguifer was examined on [the author’s / my] behalf by Cristiano Sampaio-Costa. He mainly studied the characters of ultimate legs, and observed that the prefemora have 4 short ventral spinous processes, apically curved, and the femora have 2 shorter ventral spinous processes. The tibia is unarmed, and tarsus 1 is shorter than tibia. Tarsus 2 is divided into articles, with rather indistinct annulation, and has a welldeveloped claw-shaped pretarsus. All of these ultimate leg characters were compared with additional material from N. unguifer, N. amazonica, and N. pilosa.	en	Chagas-Jr, Amazonas (2018): A review of Newportia species in the subgenus Newportides Chamberlin, 1921 (Scolopendromorpha, Scolopocryptopidae, Newportiinae).

821D87CCFFAE79792EA8CD58E4B1FE63.taxon	discussion	Remarks on synonymy. Newportia tetraspinae is here considered a junior synonym of N. unguifer because of sharing two characters of the ultimate legs. Both N. unguifer and N. tetraspinae have different numbers of spinous processes in the prefemora, which can be 4 or 5 short ventral spinous processes in the right or left legs. The femora have 2 very short ventral spinous processes. The ultimate legs are flattened laterally and pilose, with several strong and thin setae. In addition, some characters shared between N. unguifer and N. tetraspinae, such as paramedian sutures on tergite 1 and shape and size of distal denticle of forcipular trochanteroprefemur, are similar. The paramedian sutures of tergite 1 are complete and cross the anterior transverse suture. The distal denticle of forcipular trochanteroprefemur is very short. The paramedian sutures of tergite 1 and the distal denticle of forcipular trochanteroprefemur were neither described nor illustrated by González-Sponga (1997), but these two characters can be seen in the type material and additional material examined for both species.	en	Chagas-Jr, Amazonas (2018): A review of Newportia species in the subgenus Newportides Chamberlin, 1921 (Scolopendromorpha, Scolopocryptopidae, Newportiinae).
