Description

* Scolopendra angulata explorans Chamberlin, 1914

Material examined. ICN-M.Ch-0009, 1 specimen, Amazonas, Leticia, KM 1 vía Tarapacá, Grupo Estudiantes Sistemática Animal, 30-X- 2007, 120 m.

Distribution. Scolopendra angulata explorans was known only from its type locality, Rio Madeira, state of Mato Grosso in Brazil. It is recorded here from Colombia in the Amazonian Región on the Brazilian border.

Altitudinal range. Known only from the one locality at 120 m.

Remarks. Scolopendra angulata explorans was described by Chamberlin (1914) as S. explorans. Attems (1930) considered S. explorans close to S. angulata, and Bücherl (1942) proposed the combination S. angulata explorans. Body size and absence of a lateral spine in the coxopleuron in S. angulata explorans is the main difference between S. angulata angulata and S. angulata explorans.
