Old type catalogue. Weidner (1960), p. 71, No. 79. Syntypes 4, paratypes 2.

Taxonomic remarks. Kraepelin (1908) did not give the number of specimens in his original description but Weidner (1960: 71) listed “ 4 syntypes from York (nach handschriftlichem Katalog von Kraepelin, nach Veröffentlichung Tamala [as listed in Kraepelin’s handwritten catalogue, after publication Tamala]), and 2 types from Denham”. The type locality is York and not Tamala, contra the original publication. Koch (1982) lists this taxon as a colour morph of S. laeta .

Additional material. There are additional syntypes at the ZMB (catalog no. 4653-55) .

Collection remarks. The specimens were collected by Wilhelm Michaelsen during his expedition to Western Australia 1905.

Current systematic position. Junior synonym of Scolopendra laeta ( Haase, 1887) according to Koch (1982: 127).
