Strigamia fulva Sager, 1856 Synonym: Linotaenia micropus Chamberlin, 1902. References for morphology: Wood 1862, 1865; Meinert 1886 (sub Scolioplanes bothriopus ); Chamberlin 1902 (sub Linotaenia micropus ); Crabill 1954 b. Taxonomic notes. Described originally as a species of Strigamia , it was variously cited under Linotaenia , Scolioplanes or Tomotaenia . Following Meinert (1886), some authors considered it identical to S. bothriopus , but Crabill (1954 b) re-examined the type material and demonstrated that the two species are distinct. Linotaenia micropus was described by Chamberlin (1902), but practically ignored by subsequent authors, and only registered as valid by Attems (1929). Chamberlin (1961) later recognized it as identical “part. max” with S. fulva , and Mercurio (2010) listed it as a synonym of S. fulva . However, published information on the morphology of S. micropus does not allow a decision as to whether the type specimens belong to S. fulva or S. bothriopus , which have been confused in the past (Crabill 1954 b), therefore the current synonymy is registered here only provisionally. Distribution: eastern part of North America, westwards possibly to Iowa. Published records from other parts of North America need confirmation because of possible confusion with S. bothriopus . : Published as part of Bonato, Lucio, Dányi, László, Socci, Antonio Augusto & Minelli, Alessandro, 2012, Species diversity of Strigamia Gray, 1843 (Chilopoda: Linotaeniidae): a preliminary synthesis, pp. 1-39 in Zootaxa 3593 on page 14, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.214898 : {"references": ["Sager, A.
