Congo Blue Centipede - I.D.?

See: www.flickr.com/photos/umccongo/2675442767/sizes/o/


This is one nice-looking centipede. Any opinions on the I.D.?

Ethmostigmus trigonopodus.

Ethmostigmus

I figured an Ethmostigmus sp., but is it a color variant of E. trigonopodus or a different species in the genus. Most of the Ethmostigmus spp. we have seen in the hobby have came out of Tanzania and Kenya and we've seen South African hobbyists post pics of E. trigonopodus from NE South Africa. This beauty is from Congo. A beautiful pede indeed.

Hi,

there is no other species besides E. trigonopodus living in Africa that belongs to genera Ethmostigmus.

Seems to be this is an Ethmostigmus trigonopodus and maybe a natural cross-breeding between the blue color form and the brown and striped Nigerian variant, IF it's from Congo for sure. Suppose Congo is one of the borders of those two colorforms.

Maybe one of the most common centipede species in Africa.
