This study investigates the species composition of Scolopendromorpha in Kon Ka Kinh National Park (NP) and Kon Chu Rang Nature Reserve (NR) (Gia Lai province) during the rainy season (May, June) and the dry season (November, December) in 2017 and 2018. Twelve species of 3 genera and 2 families were found. Among these species, Otostigmus striolatus, (Verhoeff, 1937), has been recorded for the first time for Vietnam and six other species, including Cryptops tahitianus, Otostigmus amballae, Otostigmus reservatus, Otostigmus astenus, Otostigmus reservatus, Scolopendra subspinipes, recorded for the first time for the studied area. The Scolopendridae Pocock (1895) was dominant with 11 species while Cryptopidae Kohlarausch (1881) had only one species reported. Most of the species were recorded in the primary forests and a few species were found in the pine forest. In addition, the number of species recorded in the rainy season was higher than that in the dry season; and the Cryptops Leach (1815) was found only in the rainy season.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
