A common terminology for the external morphological characters of centipedes (Chilopoda) is proposed, selecting those most frequently used or those that have been introduced explicitly from the alternatives used in the English literature.
The scolopendrid centipedes in the collection of the National Museum of Natural History in Sofia (Chilopoda: Scolopendromorpha: Scolopendridae)

The National Museum of Natural History in Sofia possess a large collection of scolopendrid centipedes from Cuba, the Mediterranean, Africa and Asia and it is probable that all the genera represented in the collection require revision but, clearly, a revisional treatment is not possible here.
A revision of the rugulosus group of Otostigmus subgenus Otostigmus Porat, 1876 (Chilopoda: Scolopendromorpha: Scolopendridae)

The Otostigmus subgenus is here subdivided into nine species groups based on Attems’ (1930a) monograph, the largest of which, the rugulosus group, is the subject of this paper.
A review of the species in the genus Cryptops Leach, 1815 from the Old World and the Australasian region related to Cryptops (Cryptops) doriae Pocock, 1891 (Chilopoda: Scolopendromorpha: Cryptopidae).

Of the species here regarded as valid, further material from Australia and New Zealand is required to clarify the characteristics of C. australis and C. afghanus; their relationship should be further examined.
Field observations on three scolopendrid centipedes from Mauritius and Rodrigues (Indian Ocean) (Chilopoda: Scolopendromorpha)

The origin of the Scolopendra fauna of the islands is discussed and it is suggested that the introduction of the musk shrew may be responsible for the precipitous decline in the population of large centipedes on Rodrigues.
Recent collections of centipedes from Christmas Island (Myriapoda: Chilopoda)

Recent collections have revealed the possibility of a total of ten species of centipede on Christmas Island: seven scolopendromorphs, a henicopid lithobiomorph, Lamyctes sp. and two species of…

Except for its lack of spiracles on segment 7, Otostigmus tanganjikus Verhoeff, 1941, closely resembles Rhysida intermedia Attems, 1910, which calls into question the relationship between the species in OtostIGmus and RhysIDA.
A review of the orientalis group of the Otostigmus subgenus Otostigmus Porat, 1876 (Chilopoda: Scolopendromorpha: Scolopendridae).

The orientalis group comprising 19 species and two subspecies is the subject of this paper, and in most cases, the type material is redescribed and variation discussed.
A key and annotated list of the Scolopendra species of the Old World with a reappraisal of Arthrorhabdus (Chilopoda: Scolopendromorpha: Scolopendridae)

Several Scolopendra species are very similar and require further investigation; thus male S. canidens Newport, 1844 and S. cretica Attems, 1902 are indistinguishable.
On the scolopendromorph centipede genus Mimops Kraepelin, 1903, with a description of a new family (Chilopoda: Scolopendromorpha)
- John G. E. Lewis
- Biology
- 18 September 2006
The type material of the Chinese species Mimops orientalis and Brazilian Mimops occidentalis is examined and they are placed in a new family Mimopidae characterized by the possession of a single ocellus on each side of the head plate, forcipular coxosternal plates without teeth, 21 pairs of legs and the ultimate leg‐bearing segment and ultimate legs with numerous small spines.
