Taxonomic remarks. This species was placed in the genus Rhoda Meinert, 1866 for a long time but Rhoda was recently synonymized with Scolopendropsis Brandt, 1841 ( Schileyko et al. 2020). The latter name has priority.

Current systematic position. Scolopendropsis spinifer ( Kraepelin, 1903) ; transferred from Cupipes by Attems (1930: 61) as Arthrorhabdus . Assigned to Rhoda by Shelley & Chagas Jr (2004: 533) which is now a synonym of Scolopendropsis .
