Barcoding reveals the first record of Lamyctes africanus (Porath, 1871) in Germany (Chilopoda: Lithobiomorpha)

摘要

The henicopid centipede Lamyctes africanus (Porath, 1871) is recorded for Germany for the first time. The species was first discovered by barcoding methods and subsequently confirmed by morphological characters, and specimens were also collected fromadditional locations. Information about the German sites where L. africanus was found is given and its mode of dispersal is discussed.
