Taxonomic and nomenclatural notes. S. palaestina has been recognised provisionally as a distinct species after a revision of the entire genus Stenotaenia (Bonato & Minelli 2008). The specimens examined by us are assigned to this species according to their number of legs.

Distribution in Israel: the few localities are mainly in mountainous areas, with average annual temperatures between 16 – 20 ˚ C and annual precipitations between 550 – 1250 (Figure 3 E). The exception is a specimen from Arad, which is from a mountainous desert region. We did not include this site in the presumptive distribution. Global distribution: the species is known only from Israel.

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.
