Description
mysteca Humbert & Saussure, 1869: 157 [Scolopendra].
Mexico altior. Unspecified series.
Saussure & Humbert (1872) gave a more detailed redescription, stating that they had several specimens collected by Botteri near Puebla. The MHNG collection contains body parts of at least ten specimens in alcohol in two jars under the name of Scolopendra mysteca. One of the jars, which contains a label stating that the specimens had been seen by Kraepelin, has the label “ Scolopendra mysteca Sss., Mexico, Mr H de Saussure.” The identification labels in the other jar have “Mexique” written on them. The specimens in the first jar are obviously syntypes, the status of those in the second jar are less clear.
A junior synonym of Scolopendra polymorpha Wood, 1861
