Species diversity of Strigamia Gray, 1843 (Chilopoda: Linotaeniidae): a preliminary synthesis Author Bonato, Lucio Author Dányi, László Author Socci, Antonio Augusto Author Minelli, Alessandro text Zootaxa 2012 3593 1 39 journal article 10.5281/zenodo.214898 cd374ebf-49cd-4e50-b6d2-e6b592fdb07a 1175-5326 214898 Strigamia sacolinensis ( Meinert, 1870 ) * References for morphology: Meinert 1870 ; Seliwanoff 1884 . Taxonomic notes. Described originally as a species of Scolioplanes , it was subsequently cited also under Linotaenia . Other specimens were recorded and the validity of the species was never questioned. It is assigned here to Strigamia for the first time ( new combination ), because it shares all the major diagnostic features of Strigamia (see above under “Notes on synonymies”). However, published descriptions suggest that it could be a senior synonym of either S. hirsutipes or S. japonica , because the only differential character recognized is the putative projection of the forcipules in front of the anterior margin of the head ( Meinert 1870 ) but this condition is not known in any other species of Strigamia or related genera and it can be due to some post-mortem displacement of the head with respect to the trunk (our obs. in other geophilomorphs). Distribution: southern part of Siberia, from central Asia to Sakhalin island.
