Taxonomic remarks.
Attems (1930)
had synonymized it with
Trachycormocephalus ocidentalis
Attems, 1909
but the latter name became a junior secondary homonym of
S. occidentalis
L., 1758 when
Khanna & Yadav (1997)
transferred it to
Scolopendra
.
Lewis
et al.
(2006)
changed the name to
S. lutea
(
Attems, 1928
)
to resolve the issue.
Lewis
et al.
(2010) commented on the odd distribution pattern that resulted from this synonymy because the original specimen for
S. lutea
is from
Namibia
(
Attems, 1909
) and not
India
. Their assessment is based on the lack of morphological differences in Attems’s descriptions (1909, 1928) but the synonymy is questionable.
Additional remarks.
The specimens came from the collections of the Overseas Museum in
Bremen
(
Übersee- Museum
Bremen
).
