Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Proceedings of the United States National Museum, Vol. 3 Of all centipedes perhaps the Scolopendromorpha are the best known, at least at generic and suprageneric levels. This knowledge has come about partly as a result of the availability of large numbers of study specimens drawn very widely from the earth, and partly as a result of the relatively clear-cut, usually well-defined assemblages that we encounter throughout much of the order. In contrast, where our understanding of the suprageneric structure of all other centipedes is faulty or imperfect, the lack of adequate numbers of geographically representative specimens or intrinsic categorical difficulties or both are generally responsible. The scolopendromorphs that we know best, quite understandably, are the larger forms - the kinds attractive to collectors because they are big, fierce looking, and, in the tropics, abundant; for the most part they are the familiar Scolopendridae. By the same token the ones that we know less well are the smaller, often tiny Cryptopidae. Here I believe much more remains to be learned; as a matter of fact, it is quite reasonable to anticipate the discovery particularly in the New World Tropics and Subtropics of new cryptopid species and new cryptopid supraspecific patterns, the present new genus being one example. The new form seems most like those presently included under Kethops, and yet apparently differs sufficiently to warrant elevation to equivalent generic rank.
