Tajikistan: Khatlon Region —Hazrateshoh Mt. Range, Mu'minobod [Tj1], Karatau Mt. Range, Yavan [Tj5], Aruktau Mt.

Range, Arslanbob [Kg17] (Zalesskaja 1978). Habitat records . “Near waterfall”, “pasture” (Zalesskaja 1978); Stipa lessingiana steppe (Bragina et al . 2020); dry stony shiblyak shrubland with rocks on 660–980 m; wet stony shiblyak shrubland with rocks on 1300–1370 m; stony meadow with rocks on 1250–1540 m; Medicágo virgin soil (Dyachkov 2020); stony mountain tundra on 3110–3160 m (Dyachkov 2019). Remarks . After comparison material of H . plumatus (Dyachkov 2020; unpublished data) with the specimen of H . cf. plumatus (mentioned in Dyachkov 2019), we consider this specimen as H . plumatus . The main morphological characters of this specimen correspond well to the original description by Zalesskaja (1978), a sole difference is in 3+3 gonopodal spurs (2+2 according to the original description); it can be attributed to intraspecific variability. H . plumatus is known from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan only. : Published as part of Dyachkov, Yurii V., Farzalieva, Gyulli Sh. & Tuf, Ivan H., 2022, An annotated checklist of centipedes (Chilopoda) of Middle Asian countries, part 1.
