Arthropods of Hispaniola (Dominican Republic and Haiti): A checklist and bibliography

Diagnosis. Four ocelli (Fig. 52) form a “ rhomboid cluster ” (the only blind exceptions — the genus Tonkinodentus and a clade of Western Australian Cormocephalus species; see below). Labrum with a single median tooth (fig. 7 of Waldock & Edgecombe 2012). Pretarsus of maxillae 2 not pectinate, robust and straight (Figs 59, 74, 80), accompanied by 2 (more rarely by 0 or 1) accessory spine (s). Anterior margin of forcipular coxosternite (Figs 40, 42, 50, 86) with tooth-plates (except for the monotypic genus Edentistoma; Fig. 114). Forcipular trochantero-prefemur practically always with well-developed process, the latter may be simple or furnished by 1 – 3 lateral tubercles. Sternites in most genera with longitudinal paramedian sutures. 21 LBS (21, 23, 39, 43 in Scolopendropsis only); spiracles on macrosegments, LBS 7 with or without spiracles. Ultimate LBS (Fig. 38) generally considerably shorter than the penultimate one (except for Scolopendropsis, Fig. 45). Tarsus of locomotory legs with two articles; legs with or without 1 or 2 tibial spurs and 1 tarsal spur. Coxopleuron usually with process (Fig. 49). Ultimate legs in most genera and species of “ common ” shape, rarely “ pincer-shaped ” or “ leaf-shaped ” (sensu Schileyko 2009). Prefemur of the ultimate legs without spinous processes but generally with varying number (2 – 20) of strongly chitinized spines, that are usually small (Figs 44, 49, 66, 70, 83) but rarely much enlarged, for example in Kanparka (= Scolopendra) (Fig. 56) or a few forms of Ethmostigmus Pocock, 1898 (Fig. 105, figs 36, 39 in Schileyko & Stoev 2016). Edgecombe & Bonato (2011: 395) also wrote: “ Labral bristle field completely covering distal sclerotisation of epipharynx (except Notiasemus; [no data on Tonkinodentus]); elongate, figure eight shaped groups of two smooth depressions surrounding each sensillum on clypeal part or epipharynx. Tufts of bristles on lateral flaps of hypopharynx form a continuous field with identical bristles medially … Poison calyx extending at least as far as proximal part of forcipular trochantero-prefemur … Spermatophore with a ventral invagination. ” Number of subtaxa. 2 subfamilies, 19 genera (“ More than 400 species in 21 genera ” sensu Edgecombe & Bonato 2011: 397). Sexual dimorphism. Present rarely. Range. All tropical, subtropical and warm temperate regions. Remarks. Treated as a family in Edgecombe & Bonato (2011: 395), Kronmüller (2012: 19), Edgecombe et al. (2012: 770), Vahtera et al. (2012 a: 4, 2012 b: 235, 2013: 578), Schileyko (2014: 174), Schileyko & Stoev (2016: 252), Schileyko (2018: 69), Schileyko & Solovyeva (2019: 138).
