Two New Species of the Genus Strigamia (Chilopoda: Geophilidae) from Japan

Abstract

In Japan, the generic name Scolio planes has been applied to a group of Geophilidae ever since, but the author holds the same view with CRABILL JR. and other European authors who have been using Strigamia instead of Scolioplanes for the genus. Two new species S, platydentata spec, nov. and S, bicolor spec. nov. are described here. © 1981, Arachnological Society of Japan. All rights reserved.
