Abstract

The collection of the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris (France) houses 16 species of scutigeromorph centipedes belonging to 10 genera of all the three hitherto known families. Two new combinations and two new synonymies are proposed: Tachythereua hispanica (Meinert, 1886) = Tachythereua maroccana var. spinosa Ribaut, 1911 New Synonym; Thereuonema microstoma (Meinert, 1886) New Combination = Thereuonema syriaca Verhoeff, 1905 New Synonym; Pselliodes rugosus (Newport, 1844) New Combination.
