Shelley, Rowland M., 2006, A chronological catalog of the New World species of Scolopendra L., 1758 (Chilopoda: Scolopendromorpha: Scolopendridae), Zootaxa 1253 (1), pp. 1-50 : 23-24

gracilipes Daday, 1891:149 (30 December [Z. Korsós, pers. comm.]).

Holotype (not known to exist; not present at HNHM [Z. Korsós, pers. comm.]); type locality: Trinidad.

Original rank: variety of S. subspinipes Leach, 1815 . Current rank and status: synonym of S. subspinipes ( Kraepelin 1903, Brölemann 1909, Attems 1930, Bücherl 1942 a).

Remarks: Scolopendra gracilipes Daday, 1891 , is a junior primary homonym of S. gracilipes Wood, 1861 , from Singapore, also considered a synonym of S. subspinipes ( Kraepelin 1903, Attems 1930). The name was omitted by Bücherl (1974). appendiculata Daday, 1891:152–153 (30 December [Z. Korsós, pers. comm.]).

Holotype (not known to exist, not present at HNHM [Z. Korsós, pers. comm.]); type locality: Gran Chaco Resistentia, Argentina.

Original rank: species. Current rank and status: valid species ( Bücherl 1942 a). This is the latest opinion on S. appendiculata , although Kraepelin (1903) and Attems (1930) regarded it as a questionable synonym of Hemiscolopendra laevigata ( Porat, 1876) ; Bücherl (1942 a) cited it as both a valid species and a synonym of H. laevigata even though this violates the Code.

Anatomical illustrations: none.

Distribution : type locality. Maps : none.

Remarks : Scolopendra appendiculata was omitted by Bücherl (1974).
