Strigamia acuminata, commonly called the shorter red centipede, is a centipede in the family Linotaeniidae in the order Geophilomorpha.[3]
Description
Strigamia acuminata is red-brown in colour.[4] This species can reach 40 mm in length.[5] Males of this species have 37 to 41 pairs of legs, females have 39 to 43.[5] Like other Strigamia, it has a prominent tooth at the base of the poison claw, and large widely scattered coxal pores on the last legs. The specific name acuminata means "pointed, sharp."[1][6]
Habitat
Strigamia acuminata lives in woodland habitats in Ireland, southern England and Wales (common in Leicestershire and Rutland),[4] and elsewhere in western and central Europe.[7] It is also recorded in Canada .[8]
