I'm sure you both know of this, but in case you didn't, here is a link to a description of Ethmostigmus trigonopodus

This is not the full description. You have to read "Attems - Das Tierreich" as well. The descriptions of Schileyko & Stagl are supplements and corrections of "Das Tierreich" in most cases. They worked on the same collection as Attems in Vienna.

Hi Jochen,

I know. I'd love to get hold of a copy of Das Tierreich, but even if i could, i unfortunately don't speak a word of German. There hasn't been a translated version of it done yet?
Is this the only book with taxonomic keys of Scolopendromorphs? Do you know of any other literature that might be useful?

Cheers,

The price was 300 Euro :eek: last time I have seen it for sale. It is rare and it is not translated yet. And parts of it are even for Germans hard to understand, it's very scientific...
I don't know any other centipede-related book with such a big taxonomic key. And Attems must have seen MANY species... Most other keys I know show only size, coloration, antenna segments and few more information, and only for few species.
Of course some parts of are outdated and new species discovered, but I don't know any comparable books.

Cheers Jochen

Thanks for the informaton Jochen. Scientific books are unreasonably expensive a lot of the time, so i dont think i'll be getting that one any time soon. I've done a fair bit of searching of the scientific journals for information on Scolopendrids, but once again, there really isnt much out there. I'd love to have a book with good taxonomic keys of the common centipedes found in our hobby, but its probably not going to happen any time soon as there is no money to be made in researching centipedes :rolleyes: Until then, i'll have to relly on helpful pede enthusiasts such as you and Steven passing on information :)

Cheers,
