Cormocephalus sp. :)

Do you know from which country it's originated ?
And do you have more gigantea robusta's to compare ?

Hi,
The S. cingulata come from south-spain.
i still don't think it's a Sc.cingulata,... or that it is from Spain,...

sorry :8o ,...


which dealer/seller did tell you this ?



here's mine WC sc.cingulata from Catelonia (Spain)


could you post more pictures of your pede ?

you should compare it's bodystructure and headplate/1st tergite with this:
Don't mind the colors !!!! only look at the structure :)


I'm not sure,... so don't shoot me if i'm wrong,... but i still think it's a cormocephalus instead of a cingulata,... but we need more pictures :D

it doesn't look like a cingulata from East mediteranean countries either.

It's 7cm.
The dealer had found it in spain.

Hi,

here some species i could throw in the round: S. angulata, S. canidens, S. oraniensis.
I think because that the species come from spain that Oraniensis should be possible.
Greetings,
Sebastian :D

angulata isn't European,... Oraniensis (Lucas 1846) is a subspecie of canidens (according to Attems (1930)

I think you're right,...
Scolopendra canidens oraniensis could be correct :)

55mm long
Yellow / Lime-yellow
Antennae 18-22 with 5-6 smooth
Curves on the outside of tergites starting from T 17-19
