Hi all,
While collecting scorpions today, I have found many nice looking Scolopendra species. I live in the South Balkans, in Monetnegro...I am wondering if those species are rare or interesting for someone...here are the pictures...

Hey Filip
i'll post this info in here so other members can read it to ;)

These are spec. of scolopendrids known in the Balkan region:

Sc.cingulata
-the biggest and most common, aprox 10-13cm:
-usually brown body with yellow/orange legs
-with or without black margins on the tergites.

Sc.dalmatica
-a bit smaller, aprox 8cm
-usually dark body with lighter leggs (bluish/green) leggtips
-some colorvariants have blue antennaes.

Sc.canidens
-small specie, aprox 4-5cm
-usually brown,orange,yellow overall look.

Sc.clavipes
-same as canidens,...
-not sure but maybe a synonim of canidens ?

and there are notes of a Cormocephalus spec. also,.. but i can't find much info regarding or confirming that :?

note that colors aren't keys for the ID of the spec. !


pictures would be very helpfull :p :D ;)

Thank you all! Well, it is not a problem for me to ship them anywhere, but I think the weather now isn't the best...
