hello Steven,Peter,
if you read this free article on Milipedes and Centipedes from Northeastern Peru by Chamberlin (Bulletin of the AMNH ; v. 78, article 7)
which you can find here
you can check if all the keys match,
as far as i can see all the anatomical features visible on the 2 pictures above matchScolopendra hermosa (Chamberlin, 1941).
no, not this time, other plans that weekendBTW, are you going to the LIMBEURS next week?
I never knew that scolopendra was Spanish! I thought it was Latin like most scientific names of insects and their kin!

Just "hermosa" is Spanish. "Scolopendra" is still Latin or pseudo-Latin.I never knew that scolopendra was Spanish! I thought it was Latin like most scientific names of insects and their kin!
