ID this Centipede pls?

[pinkfoot]

I have a buyer for this animal, but I never bothered to find out what species it was, so perhaps you can help?

The myriapod section is the place to ask. If you report your post and ask nicely, a mod will move it over.

i mean, it looks like Ethmostigmus trigonopodus... but i have been having bad luck with my exotic posts recently =P

do you have a picture of it from the side? we can get it to the right family or so from that


i do think it is an E.t. though

Great looking centipede you have there!!! :clap::clap::clap:

 

[pinkfoot]

Thank you!

Sadly, I'm more into spids and this fella is getting neglected, but I can't sell it locally as it is apparently endemic to South Africa...!

Can you lads confirm or refute that, perhaps?:? (the endemic part, of course)

Ethmostigmus trigonopodus is known, at the very least, to be well distributed in Tanzania. In addition, from this photo it is also clear that the species is also found in the Democratic Republic of the Congo - so I think it is safe to say it is not endemic to South Africa.
