Topic: Species of Symphyla to be Added ?

Chris,

The paper here describes British Symphyla:  https://archive.org/stream/cbarchive_12 … 7/mode/2up

A few new species are mentioned, named and described, including: 

Scutigerella spinipes sp. nov.
Scutigerella biscutata sp. nov.
Scutigerella hanseni sp. nov.
Scolopendrella horrida sp. nov.
Scolopendrella delicatula sp. nov.

These are missing from the UKSI - could you add them (after checking of course) at some point.

Edwards' Revision of and Key to the British Symphyla from 1958 can be found here:  https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B3k3kVQ … cslist_api   and a Synopsis of the British Symphyla with Description fo New Species can be found here:  https://ia600700.us.archive.org/34/item … aw1867.pdf.

Thank you.

Cheers.
Steve

Re: Species of Symphyla to be Added ?

Hi Steve

There's actually a new British checklist here: http://bdj.pensoft.net/articles.php?id=1168 and I have been in touch with Will Knight about possibly getting a copy in Excel format to do a gap-fit analysis. When he sends over his list I will check those names and see how they fit in.

Best wishes,
Chris R.
