First Record of Scutigera Coleoptrata (Linnaeus, 1758) in the South of Western Siberia, Russia (Chilopoda: Scutigeromorpha: Scutigeridae)

Abstract

The order, family, genus and species of the house centipede are new to Asian Russia's list: Scutigeromorpha, Scutigeridae, Scutigera Lamark, 1801, and Scutigera coleoptrata (Linnaeus, 1758). All records of the species in the south of western Siberia appear to be associated with synanthropic habitats. Distributional remarks are provided, all currently reported findings being mapped as well.

First Record of Cryptops (Cryptops) Hortensis (Donovan, 1810) in Southwestern Siberia, Russia (Chilopoda: Scolopendromorpha: Cryptopidae)

“…The myriapod anthropochore fauna in southwestern Siberia still remains very poorly studied, as modern data relate only to synanthropic species of millipedes (Nefediev et al, 2013(Nefediev et al, , 2014(Nefediev et al, , 2016a and to Scutigera coleoptrata (Linnaeus, 1758) (Nefediev et al, 2016b). Continuing our research, the Common Cryptops Cryptops (Cryptops) hortensis (Donovan, 1810) has currently been found introduced.…”

New data on the scutigeromorph and scolopendromorph centipedes (Chilopoda: Scutigeromorpha: Scutigeridae; Scolopendromorpha: Scolopendridae, Cryptopidae) from Kazakhstan

This widespread synanthropic species occurring in Europe (including the Urals in the European part of Russia), western Siberia, western, Central and East Asia, Africa; also recorded from Australia, North and South America [Lewis, 1981;Stoev, Geoffroy, 2004;Farzalieva, 2008;Faúndez, 2011;Volkova, 2014;Zuev, 2016;Nefediev et al, 2016a;Ostrovsky, 2016] oval pore field consisting of 13-25 pores of various sizes. All legs with flexible tarsal articulations.…”

Millipede and centipede assemblages on the northern and southern slopes of the lowland Altais, southwestern Siberia, Russia (Diplopoda, Chilopoda)

“…Despite the recent increased interest in the myriapod fauna of southwestern Siberia (Mikhaljova et al 2007, 2008, 2014, 2015, Mikhaljova 2009, 2013, 2016, 2017, Nefediev et al 2013, 2014a, b, c, 2016a, b, c, 2017a, b, Nefedieva et al 2014, 2015, Nefediev 2016), the biodiversity and ecological characteristics of myriapods in the study area of the lowland Altais, a transition zone from the plains of the southwestern Siberia to the mountains of southern Siberia have not been studied to date.…”
