Taxonomic and nomenclatural notes. The specimens examined agree with the well known species S. gracilis in all diagnostic characters. However, Israeli populations are widely disjunct from the known range of the species, thus requiring further studies.

Distribution in Israel: both localities are extremely arid, with rocky substrates, average annual temperatures between 20 – 24 ˚ C and annual precipitations between 50 – 100 mm (Figure 4 B). Global distribution: S. gracilis is known above all from the western and central part of the Mediterranean region.

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.
