[crixalis]

can you ID this pede?..

this pede are from the philippines
but i don't really know their real genus,..
thanks

 

[Draiman]

Are you sure that's a Filipino centipede? It looks very much like Scolopendra polymorpha.

 

[SAn]

its a subspinipes, i got one exactly like that from the same region. beautiful specimens

 

[alupihan]

yes those are from the philippines. i might be getting some of those in the future.

 

[crixalis]

so its real genus is Scolopendra subspinipes?..

thanks SAn

@Phark
yeah, its from the Philippines

@alupihan

What makes you sure it's a Sc.subspinipes :? ?

@crixalis
could you have a look at the ventral side of prefemurs of its terminal legs ?
do they show a lot of spines or just a few (2 - 3)

Well having some specimens exactly like that from that region and taking in consideration they are grown up to 17-19 cm right now i can only assume subspinipes..
Polymorpha would not get that big..

That is my opinion, i know you are much better in IDing than me, so if you have any other opinion, well you ll help me too

I Think It`s a Sc.alternans RiGHT?

 

[mindlessvw]

it sure looks like my alternans...

 

[Dillon]

i thought alterans only because of those blue antennae

 

[Steven]

Polymorpha would not get that big..

Sc.polymorpha and Sc.alternans still aren't azian specie as far as i know


there's something with the terminal legs that would make my 1st guess
Scolopendra morsitans, but need more detailed pix to be sure.

thats why i said not polymorpha (in case there was somehting wrong with the place the pede was collected)

as for morsitans , do morsitans get that big?

 

[crixalis]

ok, right now I'm confuse..
what part of the pede i should take some pics?..
i did'nt get it,..sorry,(newbie on pede)

 

[crixalis]

another question:
is their a possibility that your pede attcaks you?..or a certain circumstances?..
like my gf sometimes have their monthly P,.you know.. not in the mood?..
that they can bite you,..

what is the cause of the venom of this specie?..

 

[Steven]

what part of the pede i should take some pics?..

If you can,
some details from the last legs (terminal legs), the ones pointing backwards that are longer then the other , if possible from the underside,
that should make out they are subspinipes or not.


@SAn
I had a Sc.morsitans from the Philipines that was aprox 15 cm
quite a massive one, wasn't the same colorvar. though as above
lighter colored and wider black bandings, still feel sorry i don't have it anymore.
