Scolopendra abnormis

[Gel]

I've recently learned about a beautiful island nation called the Republic of Mauritius.

Naturally, I googled centipede species that can be found on the island which revealed that Scolopendra abnormis is a native species. However, I could not find more information on it.

I am seeking photos of this species and any additional information.

Thank you,

Here's the most recent citation on S. abnormis:

http://chilobase.bio.unipd.it/search/result_species.php?TaxId=785

My limited understanding is that it's red-listed, possibly due to an invasive predator, but I forget what it was.

Thanks zonbonzovi.

Yes it is red listed as vulnerable. http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/20042/0

Wish there was more in-depth information on them along with photos.

I asked about it while back then forgot about it. But a couple of months ago I decided to look around again and found some info saying that pede was common on an island nearby, don't remember the details and I might have read it wrong. Yeah I'd at least like to see a pic of it.
