Record of centipede Scolopendra polymorpha wood, 1861 (Chilopoda: Scolopendromorpha: Scolopendridae) in Maria Cleofas Island, Pacific Ocean, Mexico

摘要

During a visit to Mar?-a Cleofas Island, in the Mar?-as Islands archipelago, located in the mouth of the Gulf of California, Mexico, three specimens of the tiger centipede Scolopendra polymorpha Wood, 1861 were collected (exemplars length: 73 mm, 91 mm, and 125 mm). To our knowledge, these specimens represent the first confirmed record of the species from Mar?-a Cleofas Island. Probably, the tiger centipede, and centipede fauna in general from Mar?-a Cleofas Island, comes from continental adjacent areas.
