Taxonomic and nomenclatural notes. S. naxia has been confirmed as a distinct species after a recent revision of the genus Stenotaenia (Bonato & Minelli 2008). Despite the fact that we could not examine representatives of S. naxia from Israel, published records are accepted as reliable according to the number of legs reported.

Distribution in Israel: most records are from the southern Judean Plains, and one from near the Sea of Galilee. Average annual temperatures are 18 – 22 ˚ C and annual precipitations are 450 – 650 mm (Figure 3 D). The El Muraw site is not included in the presumptive distribution, due to its uncertain position. Global distribution: the species inhabits the eastern part of the Mediterranean basin, from the Aegean islands to Israel.

Diversity and biogeography of Israeli geophilomorph centipedes (Chilopoda: Geophilomorpha)

checklist

This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Chipman, Ariel D., Dor, Neta, Bonato, Lucio (2013): Diversity and biogeography of Israeli geophilomorph centipedes (Chilopoda: Geophilomorpha). Zootaxa 3652 (2): 232-248, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3652.2.2

Abstract

The fauna of Chilopoda Geophilomorpha of Israel has been analyzed after examining 128 new specimens from 35 localities, reinterpreting all published data including 103 records, and relating occurrence of species with major climatic parameters. A key to identification has been compiled. A total of 17 species are distinguished, of which three are reported from Israel for the first time, while five are documented by published records only. The following new synonymies are proposed and discussed: Dignathodon pachypus Verhoeff, 1943 = Dignathodon microcephalus (Lucas, 1846); Geophilus flavidus noduliger Verhoeff, 1925 = Clinopodes escherichii (Verhoeff, 1896); Pachymerium ferrugineum vosseleri Verhoeff, 1902 = P. ferrugineum (Koch, 1835). Of all the species, Bothriogaster signata and Pachymerium ferrugineum are widespread in the country, while other species occupy different climatic zones, from desert to more humid and montane.
