Scolopendra occidentalis Meinert 1886
Authors/Creators
Description
occidentalis Meinert, 1886:197 (non Linnaeus, 1758).
Holotype (MCZ); type locality: west coast of Mexico.
Original rank: species. Current rank and status: synonym of S. viridis maya Saussure, 1860 (Kraepelin 1903, Attems 1930, Bücherl 1942 a).
Remarks: Shelley (2002) could not evaluate occidentalis and included it among eight forms occurring south of the US that conform to some degree to S. viridis Say, 1821. Consequently, the status as a synonym of S. v. maya stands, but the name is also a junior primary homonym of S. occidentalis L., 1758, which is a geophilomorph (see earlier account). The name was omitted by Bücherl (1974).
