1) Ethmostigmus trigonopodus "yellow leg" (maybe from Tanzania)

2) Scolopendra morsitans "var. mirabilis" (maybe from Tanzania)

3) Scolopendra subspinipes dehaani (maybe from China)

Take another look at the 2nd pede- S. cingulata have only 4 sparsley hirsute antennae segments. This one has more.

On your new post first pic i would bet its Scolopendra Spinossima , but thats something you can ID your self better, as Turgut said in another post

"You can distinguish Scolopendra spinosissima from all other subspinipes by look on underside: It doesn't have any paramedian sutures on sternites!"

last 2 pics are common scolopendra subspinipes subspinipes most certainly spec Phillipines.

Black tip colorform looks totally different by the way.

Hi,

oh, i intentionally "forgot" one additional feature to distinguish Sc. spinosissima from other subspinipes:
Sc. spinosissima have very big and long spines on terminal legs.
I didn't mention that, because...you know...words like "big" are point-of-view. ;)

BTW.: If you're sure it's not from Philippines, it's no Sc. spinosissima.

Here is a terminal-leg pic of Sc. spinosissima...taken from Attems' Tierreich:

number 1: Ethmostigmus cf trigonopodus ''Tanzanian Yellowleg"
number 2:Scolopendra morsitans
number 3:Scolopendra subspinipes de haani "Chinese Giant" ( i said it just as i'm in china, and i seen many this kind of the centipede, so just as the experience........)
number 4:Scolopendra subspinipes de haani "Vietnam" (Orange Leg)
or maybe Scolopendra spinosissima, that need the clear photo of its tail, because i very agree peterbourbon said before
number 5:Scolopendra subspinipes subspinipes
and i said it just my idea about this centipedes, maybe i misunderstood the intention of Gem, if i said something is wrong before, I apologize

number 2:Scolopendra mirabilis "Tanzanian Neon Blue Leg Centipede"
I guess Scolopendra morsitans. Maybe this pede was mistaken as Scolopendra mirabilis long time ago. Still they show a lot of features that don't fit to mirabilis at all - must lookup and compare again.

number 1: Ethmostigmus cf trigonopodus ''Tanzanian Yellowleg"
number 2:Scolopendra mirabilis "Tanzanian Neon Blue Leg Centipede"
number 3:Scolopendra subspinipes de haani "Chinese Giant" ( i can sure it)
number 4:Scolopendra subspinipes de haani "Vietnam" (Orange Leg)
or maybe Scolopendra spinosissima, that need the clear photo of its tail, and i see it most like the de haani
number 5:Scolopendra subspinipes subspinipes , the colour very like the kind from Philippines

in number 4 , if i show you the tail will you be certain of what specie it is?
also on number 5, i can show you 100 different subspinipes subspinipes from different areas and you wont know which is what area.

on number 2: Its morsitans as Turgut says

On number 3: how are you sure? Coloration means nothing, what exactly makes you think it is dehaani chinese giant.

(these are personal questions, not meant to be answered by someone else, just wanna see how many people in here answer by seeing previous pictures or previous answers)
