Just checked the ones I posted as S. mirabilis on the "Tiny Scolopendromorpha" thread, and found out they're cingulata- each has only 2 spines on the underside of the prefemur of the terminal legs. I've also found adults in each of their localities, so I guess I can post a "Young and Adult" sequence :)

S. cingulata from Jerusalem, Israel (3 localities):



Valley of the Cross:


Young:




Adult:






Ramat Rachel:

Adult:




On eggs (taken today):





Allenby's Camp (A field by my house):

Thanks Phil, I hope I can be back in the hobby soon. :)
Go to Turkey and catch some of them... ;) My friend brought them for me (they are now in Steven`s collection..I hope :rolleyes: ), from the Asian part of Turkey, as he told me they were quite common in that part of the country(sorry but don`t remember the location, will try to find somewhere...).

the Turkish ones still are, the Hungarian one you can see above in Turguts picture i think :D ;)

I also brought some cingulatas with me last time i went to Turkey,
not that hard to find in rocky wasteland areas, sometimes even 3 colorvariants on the same mountain :eek: .

could you check the underside of the terminal legs of that Croatian one ?
i suspect it will have more then 2 ventral spines there.
based on coloration i would say it's rather a Scolopendra dalmatica then a cingulata, but that's just going on colors :rolleyes: ;)

I'm interested what's going on if crossed different colour forms. Whether have colour dissociate, or one colour variant will be dominate, or we have new colour?

If sexsing and breeding was more easier, this will be interesting for study.

Is here some one who try this with any species? successful?


Best regards

Hi,

this is an actual and very interesting debate and - as far as i know - Steven is interested in trying it out on Sc. morsitans from different locations to prove or disprove they are all morsitans or different species.

I actually have two Sc. morsitans, Madagascar and Tanzania - pitily my male is way too small to try it out (compared to my female).

Regards
Turgut
