discussion
Remarks. Scolopendra angulata explorans was described by Chamberlin (1914) as S. explorans. Attems (1930) considered S. explorans close to S. angulata, and Bücherl (1942) proposed the combination S. angulata explorans. Body size and absence of a lateral spine in the coxopleuron in S. angulata explorans is the main difference between S. angulata angulata and S. angulata explorans.
