“…For taxonomic identification of Scolopendridae, keys by Jangi & Dass (1984), Lewis (2010), illustrated key by Sureshan et al (2006) were followed. For Cryptopidae, keys by Attems (1930), Dhanya et al (2012) were used for identification of species.…”

“…Currently, 90 valid species of Scolopendromorph centipedes belonging to eight genera of Scolopendridae and three genera of Cryptopidae are known from India against 687 species under 17 genera known globally (Khanna 2008;Dhanya et al 2012). Scolopendromorph centipedes represent a diverse group of invertebrate community which play significant, but often poorly acknowledged or understood roles in the delivery of soil ecosystem services.…”

OPEN ACCESSJournal of Threatened Taxa | www.threatenedtaxa.org | 26 July 2017 | 9(7): 10386-10395Abstract: Scolopendromorph centipedes (Chilopoda: Scolopendromorpha) are a diverse group of invertebrate communities, which play significant, but often poorly acknowledged or understood roles in the delivery of soil ecosystem services.In the present paper we analyze the impact of seasonal and edaphic factors on the species diversity of scolopendromorph centipedes based on the field studies conducted in three selected sites. The study sites included a protected forest ecosystem, an undisturbed isolated hillock and a residential plot at Kozhikode District, Kerala, India. The study was performed from April 2011 to November 2012. Overall 486 individuals belonging to 18 species under the families Cryptopidae and Scolopendridae were collect...
