Strigamia laevipes Wood, 1862 * References for morphology: Wood 1862, 1865. Taxonomic notes. Described originally as a species of Strigamia , it was cited variously under Linotaenia ¸ Scolioplanes or Tomotaenia . Following Chamberlin (1912 b), who considered S. laevipes identical to S. epileptica and S. parviceps , and adopted S. laevipes as the name for this putatively single species, other specimens have been identified as S. laevipes but they should be probably reassigned to S. epileptica (Mercurio 2010). S. laevipes is recognized here as a distinct species only tentatively. The original description is very incomplete, and the number of trunk segments together with the geographical provenance of the type material suggest that it could be identical to another species, perhaps S. bidens (see Mercurio 2010). Distribution: south-eastern part of North America, at least Georgia. Published records from other areas need confirmation, because of possible confusion with S. epileptica . : 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 16, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.214898 : {"references": ["Wood, H.
